does anyone have any good websites that explain the process of replacing syncros in a WC t5? My third gear syncro is going out

 

www.hanlonmotorsports.com
They have t-5 manuals and also a t5 repair video.

 

okay, another question...occasionally it pops out of 1st...it happened like to weeks ago, and then again tonight, and reverse grinds sometimes...im gonna have to replace syncros, but what would cause it to pop out of gear like that?..what do i replace?...never rebuilt a trans before, but ive done rear end work so i know i can do the trans too

 

Sounds like your shifting fork is either broken or the little plastic pads on the shifting fork is broken. It is a pretty easy fix.

 

would that cause all of the above problems?...it would be nice to avoid having to rebuild it. thanks for your help

 

If you are thinking about only replacing the syncros, then you might not help the problem at all. There are more than just the syncro's affecting shifting in a T5. There are the little square "dogs" and the springs that hold then with the proper pressure against the slider that are also very important.

Best bet is to get the trans video from hanlon for $17 along with their rebuilt kit for around $160 and do it right the first time. The shifter fork pads are included in the kit. So for about $200 you can have a totally rebuilt trans.

 

yeah i think thats what im going to do, thanks alot guys
