Ok so I've been trying to get as much info on what causes this forever now. It really only pops out when i try to down shift to second, but if i slow down to like 5-10 mph it won't pop out.?. It doesn't grind like a synchronizer but it will make a horrible noise like the gear itself is grinding if i try to hold it in while letting the clutch out above 5-10mph. If it pops out i just hit the clutch again and pop it back in second and it usually goes in smoothly but by that time i've already slowed down to like 5-10. Two other guys with foxs have told me they have the same problem, both guys said they think it has to do with the shifter, but then last night when i talked to one of them he said he got it fixed . He said that his shift fork was bent/broke/cracked (ONE of those, can't recall which one). Would the shift fork being messed up cause this problem? If so why only in second gear?
I thought i was going to have to buy a new tranny so i just bought a king cobra clutch and have been saving for a t5 z-spec, but if it could be something cheap and stupid like a shift fork i would rather do that because the tranny shifts good in all other gears and doesn't give me any other problems. ANY SUGGESTIONS OR EXPERIENCE WITH THIS PROBLEM WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!
