hey all,
ever since ive bought the ej2, the trannys been grinding at 3rd...all teh otehr gears are fine....theres also occasional grinding at 5th but it rarely happens if i jus slam it in 5th....ive found a way without grinding, which is shifting in the lower rpms....might take a while to accelerate but its better than to grind the balls off of the tranny....i changed the original fluid which i have no clue what it was with Pennzoil's Synchromesh...no grinding anymore, i was basically driving crazy thru the rpm band testing out if 3rd gear is still grinding...but still no grinding yay!!!!
it was fine when i drove it home, but after 6 hours parked, and driving off again.....the grinding came back! does temperature affect the grinding possibilities?....it was grinding left and right no matter which rpm point i shifted....help!!! sad.gif
