hey guys, my 3rd gear grinds when I shift sometimes. I was wondering if I should check the transimission fluid or is it actually a problem in my transmission?. If it is my transmission, can someone tell me whats wrong and how much it might be to get it fixed?

Thanks guys

sounds liek synchroes are goin bad do you have less than 60k on the car if so take it to toyota its underwarrantee

be sure to press the clutch, it works my friend

good idea never thought of that

^^^^hehehe

DUH i do, I have about 65K mi...how much would it cost to get new syncros

around 320 installed at the most, my focus had them replaced for 240 at the ford dealer.

Try greasing the shifter to.

well...I just installed a new ground kit on my (custom built by me) and It kinda made my stick stiffer, it might just be me. Well if it did get stiffer than I hope this would solve me prob, but I don't know I'll have to see...

and yea grounding it is a MUST have, I can definately feel the difference in the wheel and in the gas

dude take it to toyota your still okay under the drive train warrenty i just go my whole tranny basically rebuild every gear except first and the the syncros and stuff like that, take it to them and let them test drive it, and if they grind it they there is a problem and they should take care of it, they might try putting in automatic transmission fluid first. apparently it make shifting smoother on manual tranny's but take it to toyota and let them do it...at most they might charge you a diagnostic fee 60 bucks or something

good luck

hey man, I thought its just up to 60,000 miles...if not how long do I have until its too late?

my gts was doing that in 2nd and 4th, had to replace the whole tranny
