hey guys i have had my ripper shifter in for a while now and when i get on it, like 5g and above ever since i got the shifter it will grind be4 it goes into gear, like there no hesitation to go in it just seems to grind on it way in there, i dunno if i am over throwing the shifter or wut, buthow do i even adjust these stops. i bought the thing used in almost brandnew shape and wiht no instructions so any help is appriciated. alsodo u think this coudl be a cluthc prob maybe? its a brand new clutch but u never know. well thanks guys

 

SOunds like Synchro's to meeeeeeeeeee
I JUST had the EXACT same thing happen to me before I put it away this winter. Trust me DO NOT DRIVE IT LIKE THIS ....cause now ........ I have to buy a tremic TKO

And your 89 has the same tranny as my 89 iroc 5.0L its a Borge& Warner T-5 World class ( piece of chit slushbox ) ....... why do you think its not in a 5.7L car ? Anyhow get it rebuilt fast .......and don't cheap out on the rebuild ........they are weak enough with what they got stock .


good luck to ya

 

yea i know all about how weak these peices of junk are. well its only got 1400 miles on it with the 350 and 86 behind a stock 305 tbi so i thougth it woudl be ok for a while. anyways i just made this thing a little to extreme. i can;t afford 2 grand for a tremec or 1500 for a t-56. and the gas milage is also to horrible on this thing to drive it everyday so i am just gonna sell it and get somthing practical that can still have fun with. man i wish chevy knew how to build a car in the 80's, woudl have been nice

 

On my Hurst billet plus they say to back the stop bolts out, put the car into gear, bring the bolt up to touch the stick, then back off 1/2 turn and lock in place.

I agree you have syncro problems. Get it fixed now before you do any more damage. Gears get EXPENSIVE!!!!

And, you CAN rebuild a T5 yourself. It's not hard at all.

 

ya ......I just don't like crawling under a car to rip out a tranny
I'll fix it once and be done with it . Hopefully the TKO does it for me
