I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem sometimes usually when car is cold it will grind while I shift into 4th gear not always but sometimes im doing everything correctly driving wise any advice on what the problem may be? 98 Z28

4th gear synchro ring is worn or sticking, might check your fluid level and condition

this... if its multiple gears then its most likely hydraulic problems however if its just one gear its probably a synchro. try a fluid change first

I'd recommend swapping the fluid in both the transmission(Dex3) and the hydraulics(Dot4), report back on how that helps. Curious how much power it makes?

To check synchros you can start the car and while its in neutral try to push the shifter into gear without the clutch (make sure you have your foot on the brake) if it won't go in its good, if it tries to go into gear or starts to grind the synchro is either bad or going bad.

Oh sweet I was worried if it started doing it again I was either gonna make a mess of it myself or get rapped by a shop but this method is retarded easy thanks bro.
