Occasional grind going into reverse

DrBacon

So here's a fun one, this has only happened a couple times so far but recently I've had a grind sometimes going into reverse. Yes, obviously my foot is to the floor on the clutch pedal, not like I'm speed shifting into reverse. I've always had odd issues with this transmission that I'm seriously tempted to just buy a brand new oem unit but I figured if this could be potentially anything else it doesn't hurt to ask.

Yes, I have basically every clutch component aftermarket. Zspeed clutch, flywheel, cmak. Rjm clutch pedal. Transmission fluid changed about 10k miles ago. Clutch fluid flushed and changed about 5k miles ago.

Let me get this straight... you are going to buy a new transmission because reverse gear grinds occasionally? That's incompetent, sleazy dealer talk!

No, I've had other issues over the years of randomly being locked out of gears. This is why I've replaced nearly everything related to the transmission except for the transmission itself in hopes of resolving that. I think the synchros are just shot.

Probably. Unless you're having physical trouble getting it into gear there's no real problem. Just be super slow with it to minimize future wear. If it's just the noise that bothers you so much you're thinking about buying a new transmission, then you should have bought a different car lol

Mine grinds 4th and 5th gears if I shift with any bit of force. Sometimes even if I'm extra careful it still grinds in 5th. It's done that pretty much since it was new.
