transmission warning signs

[tontot77]

what are some symptoms that your trans is about to give up? I've noticed that its hard to shift as fast as I want and then on the way home last night, it came out of third... How long do you give it? Where can I find a cheap beefy transmission?

thanks

It can go anytime. You just have to keep a watch on it. If you want a beefy transmission go to a apecial speed shop which sells and installs heavy duty racing transmissions. Other than that, you will want to go to buy one at a Ford dealer.

Do you have an aftermarket shifter? If so, maybe it's time to check those stop bolts.

well when mine went (in my brand friggin new car ) it just went. it acted like it didn't want to go into gear a few times before that, but i just attributed that to me being slopy when i was shifting.

as far as a new tranny if you still want a 5 speed, i saw that tremec has come out with a new t-5 that is supposed to be pretty nasty. if i remember correctly it is supposed to support a low 9 second pass so with your new found power i would prolly look in that direction, if you want the tranny to last any period of time that is

Mine has been poping out of 5th more than a few times last month.

what's it mean when it keeps coming out of gear.

didn't mean to hijack your thread tontot, mine just keeps coming out of 5th. I was wondering also.

what's it mean when it keeps coming out of gear.

it means one of the syncronizers in your tranny is heading south

thanks for all the posts... I'm going to check the transmission fluid, the clutch cable, the stop bolts, and the price of a tremec 5(but that is probley more than I need)... any other even wild stabs in the dark are welcome and I will report back probley Sunday/Monday
