Pazzo Donating Members 11,132 Member For: 14y 6m 24d Gender: Male Posted 16/05/14 08:29 PM Share Posted 16/05/14 08:29 PM Synchro ain't buggered, mine did it from day dot.. 65000ks now and going strong.. It's such a common thing unless every one of those FG gearboxes got busted synchros. It's normal, learn to drive around it, Change gear slow and at low revs.Let it drop into neutral from first then go into second.

Found in the past with fresh oil it's a *beep* to change for a while... could be just me though Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/88131-6spd-2nd-gear/page/2/#findComment-1472018 Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclewal Donating Members 583 Member For: 14y 7m 26d Posted 18/05/14 01:15 AM Share Posted 18/05/14 01:15 AM mine is exactly the same, terrible when cold, but shift slowly when cold and it goes like butter when its warm. Swapped out to transmax Z at about 40,000 and absoultely no change. If I was keeping it long term I would swap it out to mainlube, but its going in the next month or so , so no real need.

Viscousity of the oil changes when hot, hence shifting better. Could of been caused by a miss shift at some point of its life. Either way, its not normal for a box to grind gears on a simple gear change.

I've gone to dealers and test drive a few out of stress.. 99% of people I know with manual FGs there's does it. It's a mechanical part of the car, it's like not booting your car till engine temp is up, same with gearbox.. I doubt very much everyone of these cars someone has missed a gear. Like I said, put 4.8ltrs in not 4.5.. And also change oil in gearbox at least once a year. Did mine and it's 85% better, not cleared up but better. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/88131-6spd-2nd-gear/page/2/#findComment-1472267 Share on other sites More sharing options...
