are my syncros bad? The transmission I put in my 82 vette is a 2002 t-56 out of a camaro with about 135k on it.
The car is a monster but once in a while under high rpm shifts when I push the clutch in the change gears at high rpms I get a grinding noise and on one occassion I tried to go in another gear and got more grinding trying to go into the next gear, I wound up having to go into 6th to keep it from grinding when I came off the clutch.
its like one of those ghost problems sometimes it happens sometimes it dont.
I also have a problem sometimes when I am sitting at a light with the clutch DEPRESSED and when the light goes green I press the clutch in and it dont want to go in first I either have to
1. depress the clutch again and then press it to get it into first or
2. just shift to second and start in it.
I am pretty sure this thing needs a rebuild. but my question is how seriouse is this? is it possbile to drive it like this for a few months? when I am not hard on the shifts it works just fine and only occasionally does it do this
