#5364, "(split thread) Tranny falling out of 3rd gear after clutch install" Apr-24-06 03:31 PM by Star Turbo Talon
Originally posted by PiKapp504 the only problem I've noticed is the shitty engagement point. I have to push the clutch to the floor in order for it to engage.
I can push mine in about 2 inches and it engages but now it's popping out of gear in 3rd at about 2,000 RPMs but i think it's b/c it wasn't installed right so I'm taking my car back to the shop tomorrow to make the guy fix it.

Trans pops out of gear for reasons such as worn dog teeth, worn fork pads wich wear the dog teeth, and/or worn sliders, worn cable bushings ect. You wont get much from a shop that did a clutch install.

I just got my car back 2 days ago and it's been in the shop for 4 months getting engine work done. The guy is also the one that installed my new SPEC clutch. Before it went into the shop there were no problems with the transmission at all. Could he just have installed something wrong and it's causing it to disengage in 3rd?
With what you said is wrong, what do i need to do? Buy a whole new tranny?

If its not the shift cables, you will need to replace one or multiple parts. Everytime it pops out of gear, the slider and 3rd gear are wearing out the dog teeth.
Until you open up the trans and see how much damage there is. typically you will have to replace the slider, and 3rd gear. IF the dogs (ball detent assy) is worn you will have to replace those too.
I have had 2 trannys with that issue. One was 5th gear and the dog teeth were rounded over so bad it would pop out immediatly. The other trans which still remains in my talon because i am too lazy to pull it only pops out of gear on occasion. Both tranny's will require a complete new gear assy. They only take me about 30mins to replace them, not hard if you know what you are doing.
The Dog teeth are shaped like a trapaziod so that the slider teeth when interlocked, holds the gear/slider together. If that trapazoidal shape wears, the two pieces can slide apart. The "dogs" or the ball detent assy's are what hold the lider from shifting out of gear as you lift your foot on and off the gas in the same gear.
If you can find someone near you to split the cases and disassemble the trans, i have the parts for you. That is assuming the shift cables and bushing are not the problem.
