Hey guys,

My car just started doing this recently, when I downshift every gear works fine except 2nd gear which pops out sometimes if I don't hold it into place. Is this a synchronizer problem?? How much does something like this cost to get fixed? Any info is appreciated.

The wise thing to do would be get a full trans rebuild kit from hanlon motosports, and have it installed by a local professional.
Kit is $169, labor on the rebuild if you pull the trans should be about $250.

Problem could be synchros or blocking rings. My buddy rebuilds them and sees all these syntoms all the time.

Mine actually did the same thing yours did, and i let it go, and go and go, until the destroyed the trans to the point it was junk.

So fix it earlier not later.

Yup. A trans that has been used and abused will have this problem. Diffently need to rebuild it before it blows up!
