Mine was doing it bad at high RPM, I changed the break fluid with freash dot4 and put royal P syncro mesh in the trans... My trans works awsome now, I havent had problem since the day I did it.

Mine ground with stock and continues with aftermarket . Mostly when trans is cold. When oil is hot it doesnt do as often

Oem and MGM both grind 2nd every now and then

patternpilot · 02-16-2012, 07:55 PM

Yes, aftermarket Hurst. Only when shifting rapidly, and only into second. Did it with the OEM shifter as well.

Bad70supreme · 02-16-2012, 08:39 PM

Royal P guys, trust me it made a big difference.

OEM Hurst and no grind

obe1 · 02-17-2012, 12:44 AM

Mine only grinds when the fluid is cold. Using the MGW shifter. 34,000 miles. Plan to install RP fluid to see if that helps.

Yes, OEM Hurst

MaRoFreK · 02-17-2012, 03:28 AM

Its kinda odd. I had the OEM Hurst and had grind under hard accel and even just poking around a few times. Now that I have the aftermarket Hurst I've only had it happen once and my tranny seems to be shifting smoother.

. I don't know if it just the more connected feeel that makes it feel smoother or what.

Once my tranny is up to temp I can redline shift to 1-2 without it grinding.

Yes, OEM hurst. My grind is very minimal. I find that I "grind" more when I put weight on the stick towards the driver side. If I allow the stick to drift downward and a bit to the right before I try to enter second gear, I seem to avoid the slight grind.

It's completely counter intuitive, hard to speed shift, and should be unnecessary..... but this is what I must do apparently...

Yep, OEM Hurst here.
