Here's a video of the grind when I shift into 3rd.

what about it, sounds like you need a syncro :p

[Shane@DBPerformance]

Keep doing it and it will need more than a syncro, it's probably already to the point of needing a new gear though.

[HiImBrian]

Like I said though, it only does that when the rpms are over 2500 when I shift.

So my best bet is to crack open the tranny and to try replace/rebuild it? Idk if that's something I'd feel up to doing by myself. I'm option to advice as to where I should go from here.

[Shane@DBPerformance]

It starts doing that at like only 8000, then it move down lower and lower in the rpms as it gets worse. When you need to replace an actual cluster gear shaft it starts getting very expensive compared to just being able to replace syncros.

[HiImBrian]

So what you're saying is bring my trans to somebody and have it rebuilt? A quick google search tells me I'm F-ed in the A with a big D when it comes to trying to replace synchros myself :(

Time for an Evo III conversion! :D How long has this been going on?

It was grinding ever since I bought the car. And the kid I bought it from beat the living piss outa it :(

I still have the option of selling the car back to him, but I'd rather not unless this trans thing is gonna rack up the $$$ quick.

Yank trans, bring it to a local sponsor, have them rebuild it. Or just have them do all of the work. Easy peasy :)

Or just find a new trans. quicker turnaround and you can probably find a decent one for ~$200-300.
