so heres the deal. when my engine is cold and i start out in first i start moving and all of a sudden my gear feels like its grinding. then when i try and down shift to 2nd its hard as fuck to put in. now when my engine warms up the thing with 1st gear goes away but its still hard to down shift into 2nd sometimes. any ideas whats wrong?

sounds like bad syncros to me and also make sure you still got some fluid lubricating the gears

 

it cant be the syncros cuz the tranny was rebuilt with all new b16 gears that were carbon coated 4 months ago. i havent checked the tranny fluid tho. i was thinking some gm syncro mesh would help.

 

try it it could be your problem but to me that sounds like syncros to me something simalar happend to a friend of mine and some of his syncros were jacked so i dont know you said it was rebuilt with new parts so id check to see if you got fluid in your tranny

 

Syncros or bent shifting fork. Check the fluid !

 

thats the thing...if it were syncros or a bent shift fork wouldnt it do it all the time instead of when the engine is cold?

 

check the fluid, then let us know. no point in speculating about all kinds of crap if its just empty.

if its not empty, then come back and we will go from there.

 

will do. ill keep you guys updated.

 

try adjusting your clutch pedal to where more pressure will be applied to the clutch. you can do this by adjusting the screw under the pedal in the car. (worth a shot and it's free)
