JROO22 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Hello, I have an '84 GL Wagon 4Hi/Lo. Heres my problem, when I shift into 3rd, whether going up or down through the gears it will grind. If i really push the shifter forward it kind of catches into gear. This is a new problem and my only car. So help me out please. Are the synchros going out? Or what is my problem? Thanks in advance.

NorthWet Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 If your car is sitting still (not moving, parked), can you put the tranny into 3rd? If so, probably synchros; if not (after several attempts, since their are some variables involved) it is likely something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naru Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Check for slop in the shift linkage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Running clutch in of course, Parked, I can put the car into any gear. When not running clutch in or out, Parked, I can put the car into any gear. What does that tell me?
