3rd Gear Grinding Problem
I am not sure how many times this has been asked but here it goes. My car is a 2000 WS6 M6. I have had a problem throwing my car into 3rd gear for a while now. It seems every i drive it when it has been sitting for a while when i go to throw in 3rd (when im going WOT, or just driving normal) it grinds horribly. Theres times it happens and theres times it doesn't. Such as i could drive normal and put it into 3rd and it goes fine. But if i throw it in alittle to fast it will grind as if im shifting clutchless or something. I have even tryed putting the clutch pedal to the floor and theres times it still does it. Some people have mentioned since my car is a '00 it has the older slave cylinder which didn't work to well, and that to upgrade to an 01-02. One person told me that it could be my synchronizer. That statement came from a guy who drives a C5, and knows his stuff. But my dilemna is i don't know where my problem sits. I had my master cylinder changed almost a year ago. I need help with this problem because i feel like im going to grind 3rd away sometimes and the last thing i want to do is a whole transmission rebuild. Any help would be great thanks.
