i could downshift to 1st going over 10mph. just give alittle rev on the engine while downshifting nd itl go in

01SaturnL200 · 02-24-2005, 04:17 PM

i tried revin it, itll go in but itll grind, is there a fuse or something i can take out? i have a ka24E tranny too does that have different gearing?

A fuse? What the fuck are you talking about?

"Damn 4th gear went out today"

'Did you check the fuse, it might be blown.'

thats not what i ment.....ive seen cars that have a "safety" feature that wont let them downshift unless its under a certain mph....

What car is that?

It's most likely the 1-2 syncro is worn. You could try changing your tranny fluid more often. But the best fix would be replace the syncro.

ahhh thats cool, i gotta spare 5sp im gonna rebuild in my manual transaxle class in 3 weeks

**mrmephistopheles** · 02-24-2005, 11:43 PM

dude, I think I blew my engine up! there's metal bits all over and I've lost all my oil!

Nah dude.. check your fuses.

Andrew Bohan · 02-25-2005, 01:22 AM

s13gonwild · 02-25-2005, 01:54 AM

LMAO fuse haha its normal dude...dont loose sleep over it..

kandyflip445 · 02-25-2005, 04:25 AM

When you take apart your tranny in class. Use petroleum jelly to hold together little parts like the inserts for the syncros. It makes life a whole lot easier. It would be easier to leave the syncro assembly together though. And make sure you check for snap rings...

Drunk Bastard · 02-25-2005, 04:45 AM

rather than try and put your car in first at like 10mph, why not just learn not to put it in first until your car is stopped.

....and changing fuses?.....
