Ok, so if anyone knows about this T5 I have been dealing with lately they will know where I am coming from with this.....
I got a used T5 awhile back that was supposed to have been rebuilt and ready to go but I have spent countless hours trying to fix it and have had tons of problems with it.....I have had it in and out a few times now fixing problems that weren't right from the begining and it is still wanting to jump out of 1st and sometimes 2nd gear fairly consistent. I have replaced the shift forks, top-plate assembly, shift fork pads, sliders, gears and more and it still wants to jump out or not go all the way into those gears. It does it more in 1st when taking off from a dead stop....I can push the shifter as far forward as I can and it will either not be in gear when I let out on the clutch or it will slide out as soon as I start to let out on the clutch when the car starts moving. I can usually downshift into 1st and 2nd and it will stay in most of the time, but it has gave me problems doing that as well but not as often as when taking off from a stop....sometimes when I go to downshift, I pull the shifter all the way into 2nd and let out on the clutch and it will still be in neutral or will slide out and into neutral. It really feels like for some reason the 1st and 2nd slider doesnt travel as far forward and backward onto the gears as it does for 3rd and 4th.....
Keep in mind that once I get it in first gear and it doesnt just jump or slide out..... I can accelerate and it will shift through the gears like a brand new one.......its only when stopped or slow rolling that it acts up.
Anyway, I have rebuilt a few of these T5's but never ran into any problems like these before.....anyone with more knowledge of them or who has experienced these problems feel free to chime in with any info.......ANY help is appreciated as I have been battling this stupid transmission for almost 2 months now...
Thanks
Clint
