5sp 3rd gear help
« on: July 31, 2008, 07:03:27 PM »
ok

AX5 tranny

Was working just fine until about 2 days ago

prob: after it warms up, 3rd gear syncro doesn't seem to syncro much at all, when cold, it's perfectly fine for abotu 20-30 mins,.. then gradually gets worse.

Is it possibly oil change time?

Sounds more like the synchros are on their way out  :(
AX5s are not the best for wheeling........start putting bigger tires on em and off roading ....accelerates the wear.
 Possibly rebuild or replacement time soon.

I changed the oil anyways

definitely helped, but the downshift is touchy.

meh,.. It works just fine when I double clutch 3rd ;)
