well guys, i rebuild my r154 aproaching a year ago, i have about 8k on the tranny,
and this morning while headin to get a bit to eat and a clutch tool for my mkii,
i got on it a little hard,
first wasn't the gear though.. in third...
any ways, i pulled out of the parking lot, rolling into the throttle started gettin tire hop and shifted to second, second pulled real hard, and tires were starting to hop, shifted to third, pulled wot for about 3 seconds then hit the clutch, upon that i hit a man hole cover and i hear a bang that i thought was the man hole cover.
4 miles down the road i pull up to my turn at the light and the car begins popping out of first.
i had to start off in second, where another mile down the road i make the turn onto my street and try again for first, i was able to get it to go into first once i stoped again and i took off fairly hard to see if it would pop out but it stayed, i thought maybe my shift boot was tight and caused a mis-shift..
when i left to pick up the clutch tool, the car had first when i pulled out, and when i got to the next stop i no longer had first just ground and poped out.
im tring to think what might have happened, first i thought the bolt on the selector shaft broke, but second third fourth and fith still work great..
being the fork and gear hub are connected for first and second, that means all that stuff is good, possible the fork is bent but since im getting lound grinds out of her,
i belive that i either sheared the teeth off first gear syncro or possibly damaged the selector hub..
i have 2 other trannies i can put in to her so down time shouldn't be bad, but i gotta admit this is bothering me...
