t45 issues

[johnnydufus]

just had my clutch done and i cant go into 1st, 2nd or 5th, it slides in like half way and grinds when i release the clutch

did i bust my syncros? if so whats the cheapest place to buy a tranny or have mine rebuilt

Mine is popping out of 4th just like you described. It goes in next week for a teardown. The guy said $525 for labor and $200 to $300 for parts. He couldn't say for sure cause there are a few things that could be causing the problem.

I thought about buying a rebuild and installing it myself, but it's about the same price to have a shop rebuid mine and do the labor. Here is a couple places I considered for a rebuilt trans.....

Possibility that the clutch fork is not sitting on the ball stud properly or if you have an adjustable cable, might want to tighten it up some. Maybe someone else can chime in with an answer:shrug:

if the arm wasnt sitting on the ball properly i wouldnt be able to shift at all, right?

525 for labor and 300 for parts????? you can buy a rebuilt trans for that much. No in hell should labor be 525. does the labor include pulling it from the vehicle too? if so, just so it yourself. Its not that hard.

 

[doctorDOHC]

yeah, that price is I drop the car off with them and pick it up 3 days later for the same price as buying a rebuild and installing myself. My knuckles are thanking me already

Do you know of a place selling rebuilt t45s for less than $725??? shoot me a link or phone #

luckily my GF's dad is a ford tech. soon, were going to pull my trans, and take it to the dealership where he works. The trans guy in the shop is going to rebuild it for 150 bucks. I supply all the parts.

Does it go into gear with the engine not running>?

 

[johnnydufus]

no it does not, my shop teacher at school (owned and ran a shop for 15 yrs) said that their might be a part missing within my shifter (i have a pro 5.0 powerstick)

when i push up into a gear it doesnt go in all the way in 1st, 3rd or 5th making us believe a piece is missing

sounds like the shift fork is ****ed up

 

[johnnydufus]

but how could i lose all 3 at the same time, unless they all have the same fork (i'm not much of a tranny guy)
