It's either a shifter bushing or you need new synchros.

are either of those alot of money?

The shifter bushing isn't really that big of a deal I don't think. New synchros is $$$ though. They have to tear apart the tranny and everything. Depending on how modded your car is and how many miles you have, the dealership may help you out because there is a Technical Service Bulletin out for that specific issue in our cars. Try calling your dealership and take off all your mods before you take it in.

mm well i am stock now...i was modded..i sold everything but my stage 2 clutch. which is still in there..so its going to be kinda of hard to get the dealership to work on my car..i was NA then i went turbo, then sold my turbo kit, and went back to NA, then sold everything but my springs..im going to do all of my suspension first. i have 2k for a k20 swap and that is my plan. just need something for about a year or less.

Well its not a huge issue if you can stand it popping out from time to time.

Stage 2 clutch hmmmm

Good Old 4 puck, 6 puck or do you have a disk?? Sprung hub?? Or not??

Your clutch could have caused this.

My bet is synchros though!

From the sounds of it, you should be out of a tranny in under a year. IMO

its a excedy 3 puck. sprung hub.

yeah im thinking my clutch caused this also. well im going to go buy a stock clutch.

How many miles on the clutch and engine?

 
Rep Power: 359

engine and tranny 81k.

on this clutch mmm not sure. its been on my car for 4 months now i guess.

3 puck is HARD on the tranny.

At least it's a sprung hub though

Good luck!

yeah but it still sucks...it doesnt pop out all the time, but when it does i get pissed.

I have the same problem.

I drive a four puck daily!

mine pops in 2nd though...

 
Rep Power: 359

yeah well that problem sucks.lol

im guessing it from slaming it into 3rd for me and 2nd for you!

 
Rep Power: 313

Yep! it only takes ONE mis shift to fck up the synchros!

 
Rep Power: 359
