tranny issues

alright guys my 02 has 88k miles now. Car has been overall driven hard im not gonna lie. 4th gear has gotten to the point were it grinds every single shift from 3rd to 4th. If i downshift from 5th-4th its fine and if i do a very slow shift from 3rd to 4th it doesnt. But i am talking SLOW shift. anywayz i am curious if its the syncros. Im on the factory clutch still and its losing pressure as time goes which means that its going out. has anyone had these issues with there trannies? im hoping its not gonna need to be replaced but if it does i need something done.

btw i have royal purple tranny oil. However i wouldn think that only 1 gear would grind bc of that.

 

sounds like the syncros with the grinding problem..you will know when your clutch is slipping

 

sounds like the synchros to me too

 

clutch isnt slipping

 

Yeah i had the same exact problem you are having my third gear started grinding a few months ago, now it is at topspeed with a tore up tranny. :wtc:

 

awsome! thats encouraging haha jk

 

Yeah It Sucks!

 

time to upgrade to a 5 speed sti tranny

 

Actually i think we are upgrading to a forrester xt tranny. pretty sweet upgrade if you ask me.

 

are you building it or just putting it in stock?

 

hmmm......might just do that

 

Its already has a motor swap topspeed put a ej25 in and it has exhasut with a reflash.
