for about the last month or so I have been noticing that when i shift into fifth gear it grinds at first and then goes in smoothly. Well saturday I went to springfield to order 2 more of my rims and on the way home i was in fifth the whole time and it drove fine. I stopped at a buddies house in Delevan and when I left his house my car wouldnt stay in fifth gear. It will shift in to gear but as soon as i let out the clutch it pops right back out. If I try to hold it in it grinds. Well along this problem, I was at a bday party and when I came out all my tranny fluid was on the ground. I looked under and the fifth gear housing is where it had all leaked out from because I noticed a steady drip coming from the side of it. I have another casing but is the problem just my syncro? I am getting a new syncro from the dealer today but does anyone think its something other. I havent taken it apart yet but just figured I get your input.

the tranny is not toast. The fifth gear housing just cracked. I have another brand new one sitting in the garage to replace it. Also the end nut is brand new and we crimped it on both sides so there is no way it could have came loose, although I will double check. The syncro and possibly the fifth gear bearings are shot. I just wanted to see if anyone else ever had this problem b4. All other gears shift fine, even reverse.
