its like the 5th gear is gone all the way when i shift to 5th
it only rev but its not doing nothing and now i her like an rattling sound
what can this be aint no much about trannys 1st 2nd 3rd and 4th is good 5th gone all the way and now a rattling sound

- Sun Sep 16, 2012 9:16 am #315776 Sounds like the synchro for 5th has gone out. either that or the gear itself has no teeth on it. You will have to bust the case apart or replace the trans. I am sure it can be fixed but you might want to find someone that knows transmissions to help you work on it or do work on it.

The gold things are the synchro's

See how they are next to the gears and in between the forts in this pic



These are just brass and well with hard shifting or really any abuse tend to wear down and then it won't hold in gear or feel like its in gear but doesn't do anything.

While they are in the trans to fix it I would ask to have all the bearings replaced since they have the case opened.
