Guest Anonymous Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 1984 300zx n/a No matter what i do when I sift into 2nd my gears grind I have the clutch to the floor and it still does it. The only why not to scratch it is to let the RPM's drop to 1 and sift real slow. I also have problems getting into reverse I have to let it roll back before it will engauge. Any idea on what is causeing this does it sound like I need to adjust my clutch pedel? I am planning on a trip to the strip this weekend so I need to fix it soon.

Lockjaw Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 Hey man, My second gear crunches too, but only at full throttle, HAHA. Actually most Datsun transmissions I have ever heard usually crunch second gear, they take the most abuse since people really jam them. I can hook you up on tranny stuff too. I would check the fluid, and replace it with some new fluid and some of that Lucas Oil Stabilizer. I like that stuff. Have you tried to double clutch it and see if that helps? Be thankful it is not popping out of gear. That really sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 If your having trouble getting into reverse, I'd suspect your clutch isn't releasing all the way and it could be also that 2nd gear syncro is indeed bad. 2nd takes quite a pounding from getting bang shifted into second gear, the syncro's are usually soft material like brass and a bit of pounding takes the inside taper off them over time which makes them stop working. Just some idea. Good luck with it. Regards, Lone Ps: I wouldn't fist fight in here, you should see the bouncer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kc6wfs Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 I'll second the syncro going out.. Been ther and done it with many trans.. I always just babyed till I got tired of it then had the trans rebuilt. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Ripoff", is a very harsh term to use. (and quite rude). You should watch what you say. I dont think I ripped anything off as Godspeed is the Official ™ of my Auto Club in Montgomery, Alabama. If you need copy of my © license let me know. I assure you I have not "ripped off" anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 4 or 5 speed??? second gear usually takes the abuse in a Datsun tranny. Have some one push in the clutch as you observe full travel and any fluctuations in the shaft from the hydrualic cylinder to the clutch fork to see if there is a hydrualic pressure problem. I would say your second gear synchro is in bad shape. I found second gear has a little trouble surviing in the Datsun 5 speeds. I would not push the grinding issue until it is resolved because thing can go clang. CHECK the fluid level in the tranny which if low can cause some grinding.
