StuartW Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 (edited) Raced at shakey yesterday and after a launch tried to select 2nd and it wouldnt go in and just grinded:blink: all the other gears are fine but it will not go down through 3rd into 2nd, also will not shift quickly from 1st to 2nd! It feels like something is wrong with the synchromesh. When i try to select 2nd it grinds and i can feel the teeth on the stick! Unless anyone has any suggestions beforehand i will remove and strip the box:( Are there any tech spec like torque specs etc available? has Anyone had previous experience of this and rectified it? there are no oil leaks and it has 500 mile old Toyota Getrag oil fitted to correct level.

2JG Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I've got exactly the same problem with mine at the moment but mine will also jump out of 1st when pulling off I've had it stripped and am having to replace 2nd gear and a few other bits and pieces.

Sorry to hear that but i guess it could be worse? Did it go under load? Can you let me know the rough cost of parts and labour breakdown please. Also where the parts genuine Toyota and in stock! Many Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many Thanks no not at all, was working fine one day and then the next day it went. was very strange. The car is still in the garage at the moment and all parts have been ordered through Toyota and I believe they are acquiring them from Getrag. Be prepared for a long wait though, I've been waiting over 6 weeks. I have no idea how much it is going to cost yet until it's all done. sorry I can't be more helpful.

Yeh i had third go on me. The useless garage who stripped the 'box, replaced all of my Synchro's in the end. And i now have a rattling noise coming from my gearbox instead... I would say it is defintely your 2nd gear synchro has gone. I would strip it and replace your 2nd gear synchro matey... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
