5th gear went out - sr20det

[jarend]

So yesterday I was driving and went to put it in fifth gear and it made a gnarly grinding sound then stopped working. I was able to not touch the clutch and go from neutral to fifth. At first when I would push in the clutch and put it in fifth the rpm's would jump around a little like it was trying to do somethin then it would go to idle. Anyone had any similar problems? Suggestions? Anything would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. -Jaren

time for a new tranny

Yea, it seems like its just not worth fixing mine considering how cheap they go on here.. no one has had this happen to them before though?

Hi there I know im new to this forum but Im going to say... fix the trans yourself. Its actually pretty easy, you probably just tore 5th gear synchro a new one. LOL

Does it go into 5th gear while the car is off? if so then you just need a synchro. I have repaired 1 nissan trans and 1 toyota trans in the last month and they both ended up great! Only spent around 40 bucks to fix each one.

Any who good luck
