*****4th Gear Grinding******* Quite often recently, I have been grinding the gearbox when going into 4th gear. It seems when I try to go into fourth rather quickly (not powershifting), it'll buzz the shifter. At first, I thought that maybe I was pulling on the shifter before the clutch was all the way down to the floor - but this is not the case. After grinding a few times on the way to work today, I made it a point to put the clutch pedal all the way to the floor then pull the shifter down into fourth - guess what? Buzz! One thing I have noticed is that it only does this when I'm trying to accelerate quickly and pulling the shifter rather fast into fourth gear. I can go into 2nd & 3rd quickly - without putting the clutch pedal all the way to the floor - but when it comes to fourth - it has been very annoying!
I DO have the Pro 5.0 shifter with the stops turned 1/2 turn away from the shifter (when pushed/pulled all the way into 2nd & 4th gear). But I was looking at the stops today and when I slam a gear - it isn't even touching the stops.
Do I need to get my trans looked at? It is trouble with my synchros? Someone please shed some light because I am getting very upset with my car at this point.
Thanks

Re: *****4th Gear Grinding******* I took out the Pro 5.0 and put in the factory Hurst (so the dealer wouldn't blame it on that), but I still get the same grinding/buzz going into 4th - off and on. The dealer said that they couldn't duplicate the problem when I dropped it off there <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> I'm going to bring it back because the next day it was doing it again. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />
