why would it do this?
my tranny grinds second on my awd as i made a forum before about but i have a question about it before i spend 40 bucks on gm syncromesh friction modified, my second gear will only grind when it gets hot like after a 20 min drive and i flushed out the tranny fluid and put in penzoil syncromesh wich isnt friction modified and its a lil better but not that much so do you think its definatly the syncro? or maybe if i get the friction modified it will help?im soo lost right now i have very low money and i cant afford a 700 dollar rebuild for my tranny.....maybe i am just not fit for a dsm ........need info thanks

Have you talked to Jerry to ask about a tranny rebuild yet? It might not be that bad depending on what you want done. It could also be something as simple as an improperly adjusted clutch pedal- where in the range does your clutch disengage? If it's not high enough you might not be getting full disengagement or not getting it soon enough, that could cause grinding. Also remember to raise the cruise control switch/clutch pedal upper stop when you adjust the master cylinder to raise the disengagement point. Try bleeding the clutch line, also check for leaks in the master and slave boots as if they go bad they might not build enough pressure for full disengagement on a fast shift. Do the clutch pedal play test when you have the cruise switch backed off just for the heck of it.
If all that fails, just don't beat on your car until you have the money to get the tranny rebuilt.
