gwadd85 Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 so if a 1989 conquest tsi grinds from 2nd to 3rd gear, im guessing that the syncros need replaced, right?? could it be something simpler, like the clutch needs replaced or adjusted? if it is the syncros, where can i get a transmission rebuild kit, how much would it be, and about how much would it cost at a transmission shop to repair? thanks, Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarquestRescue Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 http://www.starquestclub.com/forum/index.p...c=79086&hl= If the clutch is not disengaging fully it can cause shifting problems. Would typically be in more than one gear though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 3'd gear is on the connection for the input and the out put shaft,,a badly worn input shaft brg will cause the input shaft to come out of alignment this causes the connection to move out of alignment due to the thrust create'd from the gear messing think of the shafts as a straight line with a connection in the middle,, with a bad suport brg the line will bow in the middle,, and in the middle is where 3'd gear syncro sets , this also places excessive pressure on the connection neddle brgs causeing them to wear makeing more problems,, 1st, 2'd ,3'd and 4th all use the same scynro collars the fix is replace the frt input shaft brg, and maybe the connecting collar brg cage and posibly the 3'd scynro ring , andmake sure the clutch is fully releaseing MikeC has a write up on replaceing the frt brg in the FAQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
