well was abusing the lt1 a little and when i power shift to third it grinded and went in to then slip and when i shift to fourth it does the same i got no third and fourth no grinding when i put it in or nothing i could put it in with out even pressing clutch.. what can this be? i was told it could be the 3rd-4th fork but would like to be sure before dropping the trans to open it up..
thanks

Hey, I have the same problem in my T-5, No third or Fourth, feels like nothing is their. I received a suggestion on this site to check the shifter, pulled it, put it in thrid and found it, put it in fourth, found it, now I cant get it into any other gear and neutural is a forward gear. i didnt get any other responses on this site. Think I am going to take it out and crak it open and see if its a bent rail or fork. Hopefully some of the Guru's on this site will give a hint or to as to what the problem might be.

 

o damm thanks alot bro my mechanic teacher told me for sure it is the fork which grabs the sycros for 3-4 gear but was just seeing if i got the same advice from here i dropped mines today pretty hard to take of the top cover so i rather let a mechanic do it before i make it worth

 

Just an FYI, tore mine apart and third/fourth fork was destroyed, replaced both forks while i hadit apart and now it works great!

 

Get a shifter with stops like a Pro 5.0 and you won't break the fork anymore. You're overshifting when you slam 3rd gear, which flexes the fork. The aluminum can only take it for so long before it cracks and eventually breaks. Also, if you're powershifting 3rd get ready for it to break again, because eventually it will spit some teeth.
