T5Z Transmission Question

[edtinc@earthlin]

My transmission tends to move out of 2nd gear and reverse when the thottle is released.

Everything else works fine.

Any ideas.

Ed,

It could be a couple of things, it could be your shift fork is worn and not allowing it to go all the way into gear, or the engagement teeth on your gears or sycro sleeves could be worn. jimig@standardtransmission.com

Release the rubber boot from the floor and see what happens. Mine always came out of 3rd into neutral with one boot I had which was too stiff.

If anyone want that boot (new), send me your mailing address and $5 for postage.

I also had that problem with my small block and T-5 and it turned out to be that my shifter was not engaging all the way because I needed to take a little more material out of the opening. Shifter was hitting back of hole about a 1/16".
