6 speed trans problem
6 speed trans problem its a 99 camaro ss 6 speed trans feels really strong 1 and second sometimes grinds if im driving and i try to put it in first it will grind some times not all the time if i push the clutch in really fast and the car is not moving the trans makes a loud noise like the clutch is not ketching is it because the clutch is bad? the car has 96000 miles on it
If the grinding is isolated to one or two gears (i.e. going into 2nd) but is fine in other gears, then its probably an internal transmission problem. Could be a worn synchro assembly or worn engagement teeth on the speed gear. Either way, you'll most likely need a rebuild and probably a clutch while you're at it. My shop offers package combo deals on T56 builds/clutch kits. T56 rebuilds start at $680 for the Stage 2 and can go up from there depending on what is wrong. The most popular clutch kit is the Diamond Stage 2 ($409 for the basic kit, good for 600hp/tq). If you get both a rebuild and a clutch, we take $75-110 off depending on how much the total comes out to be. Check my sig for the 2 websites.
