clutch/t5 trouble

[Thenemesis]

My car ever since ive gotten it and ever since its been around.. has always grinded second.. no matter what you do you could take 5 mins to get into it but it will still grind.. i have no idea wth is the problem.. it slows down your speed shifting at the track..

Sounds like it's tume for some new tranny synchros.

since it will be out, i would just have it rebuilt. you will be lucky to get a year out of it if you only replace syncros. Its possible but not a good idea. You will already have the thing out, it would be cheaper to rebuild now. You can also check out the gears to see how bad they are.

O/T But what kind of wheels are on your car?

i have the ARE saleen mesh rims (almost sure they dont make them anymore).. but my dad said hes going to help me out and get a TKO or some tranny from ford racing (hes a dealer so wholesale prices ) lol

I always liked those rims.

I had the same problem and thought thats the way the car was. Then I installed the MM cable/ quadrant and adjuster. Now I can shift as fast as I like.

Nice hookup from the dad.

In my case my tranny always grinds into second when I either shift above 3500 or shift very fast. Could it just be the syncros or can my clutch be adjusted incorrectly? btw my clutch sits alot higher than the brake and disengages fairly high up.

The cheepest way will be to get the MM clutch cable, quadrant and firewall adjuster. I think I paid like $135. My car used to gring 1st to 2nd and 2nd- 3rd.
