TurboedMJ Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 So I was driving home from work today and it popped out of third gear. So I had some time to test the conditions for it to do that and found out it was only when accelerating and shifting into 3rd gear that it would pop out. Downshifting from 4th or just costing in 3rd gear is not a problem. Also, when shifting into 3rd and 4th gear it will grind sometimes. Any suggestions? I also have two spare ax15 transmissions if it comes to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSiLvAPython Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 i do not have an answer for this but a question, would you consider parting with one of those ax15s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howeitsdone Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Need to replace your synchros. A good chance they look like this. Means that when power is applied it can't stay in gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboedMJ Posted May 9, 2023 Author Share Posted May 9, 2023 Ok I will probably just go ahead and change out the transmission then, as I daily this thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, where are you located? Also, are you converting to a 4wd? Otherwise I believe the trans will not work for you unless it's for another truck not in your signature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurboedMJ Posted May 12, 2023 Author Share Posted May 12, 2023 I got the trans out and was ready to put the new one in until I noticed the ends of the primary shafts looked different. Sure enough the old one is about 4mm smaller than the new one. What can I do about this? What are my options? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you have an '89 did it come factory with it or was it a swap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
