Ive started to notice that if i am shifting from 1st to 2nd at more then 3 grand my 2nd gear will grind but it will not do this if i shift regularly.
I just recently adjusted my clutch linkage is it too loose?

How many miles on the trans?

Mine is doing the same thing and I have adjusted mine and it still does it. Time for a rebuild.

Click to expand...

I've got the same thing going on with my trans. New synchros, and you should be back in business.
