Maintenance, Engine & Driveline TechThis forum is brought to you by The Speed Syndicate (TSS) in Burnaby. Discussion of maintaining your engine, transmission, differentails, rear ends, and mods associated with "driveline" parts..
yeah i have the dc5 first gen, 2002-2004. it grinds when i go into second gear (sometimes), and it's for sure not my shifting
when do u shift? 3000 rpm? when i shift at 3000 rpm, it WILL grind, but when i shift at 2500 rpm, its normal, but sometimes grainy. maybe the fluid hasnt set in to the syncros yet.
have you felt a difference since changing to the sycromesh friction modified? i have problems getting into first gear in my dc2
its been better with syncromesh. i dont know the difference b/t the regular and friction modified but im ganna try using AMSOIL next and also getting a magnetic drain bolt. i still have 2 bottles of the regular GM Syncromesh.
Actually, it's pretty random at times. I usually shift at around 2000-2500 to save gas. I never really noticed anything different from shifting at 3000 or higher. I'll check tomorrow.
I'm not sure how much it goes for these days (it's been a long time since I bought it) but I recall buying it at the Dueck GM Dealership on Terminal Avenue a long time ago. They had the best price compared to Lordco. Call and ask for the price before going though!
a little update. 2 weeks ago, i swapped my Acura MTF out for some GM Syncromesh Friction modified. the car ran better when shifting and had some grinds here and there but eventually wen away. Now i swapped that out and now running some AMSOIL. i guess it takes awhile to settle cuz its grinding a bit. im also using a magnetic drain bolt which should help a bit.
