So, almost everytime I downshift into 3 gear, I get a grinding feeling from the shifter kinda like I don't have the clutch in but I do. And it only does this when going into 3rd from fourth. I say almost becasue sometimes it slides right in fine but when it does act up, i can repeatedly go to neutral and back to third and get the grinding, I don't know if it is becasue the load shifts to the front when decelerating or what. I changed my trans fluid recentley also. Another tihng I noticed is my new shift selector rod comes real close to my flex disc.
Could it be that the combination of the shifter centered for third and the motion of going forward with the shifter causing the selector to go back and the trans moving up due to load shifting towards the front is causing that selctor rod to clip the top of the flex disc causing a grinding that would feel like the trans but really be rubber on metal contact? :dunno:
