;help I noticed guys after snatching 2nd at about 5500rpm a little grind going into 2nd gear .. at the next light it seemed that shifting into 2nd gear the shofter seemed to have to travel further down n2 the 2nd gear gate than ususal.. days later i happened to shift to 2nd and got n2 the throttle and abruptly got off the gas as the car began to coast down the shifter bumped making a clunk sound i did it again and it did the same thing except this time it jumped out of 2nd n2 neutal...i figured possibly i messed up a syncro... this is a car that i at best drive 2-3 months out of a year....well about 4 moths late i took it out everything seemed finewhile riding in 4the gear i came to a stop sign.. took the shifter from 4th to neutal then to 2ndand the shifter was as if the shift rod had came loose..when i tried to go to 1st the it felt the same .. the only gears that worked were reverse and 3-4.. i looked under the car and the shift rod was still sonnected to the 1-2 lever on the trans i could push the 1-2 lever back and forth on the trans as if it was conncted to nothing ..
a guy told me at a manual trans rebuilding shop that the problem could be a broken 1-2 shift fork or excessively worn..he says that it can have so much wear that it doesnt engage 2nd all the way and it could cause it to bump the shifter and jump out as well as possibly doesnt have to be a syncro.. im wondering do i have to remove the trans or can i take the side cover off the trans with it still up in the car to see if the fork is broken or worn.... also .. 2nd issue:: does anyone know where i can purchase the back up lite switc as well as the shift switches four 2nd 3rd and 4th .. the od unit works but whenit wants to .. i could shift to 2nd and somtime it comes on but most tims not..if i push the button it does nothing .. at times it will engage by itself when i shift to 3rd gear.. and even then when the od comes on i can push the button but it willnot disengage i have no clue ..all replies greatly appreciated ..:confused
