I recently got a short shifter, and then yesterday my car started grinding 3rd every time, I shifter to 3rd
with the clutch fully disengaged. only happens when i shift above 2000rpm. looks like the sychros are off or something. It happends when the car is hot (like it grinds more). i checked my short shifter, looks like everything is fine and installed right, so i dont know what's going on. should i change the tranny oil and see or what? any info would be appreciated, thanks.
