Stupid fu****g tranny Options

[Taxiwardance]

Ok heres my situation, i just boght a 92 Talon Tsi awd 5 speed last week. when i bought this car i had a good 20 min of practice that resulted in one pissed off owner anyway ive been driving around and got everything down but now i cant get it into gear, ille be driving and everytime i try to shift into 2nd it goes in i push on the gas and then it likes to pop out it does it in 2nd though 4th gears every once in a while but sometimes everything is smooth. Also iwhen i come to a stop and down shift into 1st gear i have to ram that damn thing in there because it just wont go. Now i dont know if im just slower than the average bear and missing something obvious, or if theres something wrong with the tranny. I talked to a friend and he had no clue what it was. I just bought the car and really dont want to have to rebuild the trans already. Anyone with some insight into my situation, let me know what you think.

With your particular problem of the shifter popping out of gear in 2nd and forth (Both towards the back), I would try checking all of the shift linkage first and adust it the best you can at the shifter. Although after all the slipping out of gear that you have experienced the synchro's may be well worn anyway.

The adjustment is very straight forward and is even printed out in the Haynes manual.

Give it a shot. It's CHEAP!

BTW - GM Synchromesh is about $10/qt. and I normally get it at Green's Chevrolet because they keep it in stock.
