3rdGene just told me last night that his transaxle is now popping out of gear when letting off of the gas. It also grinds going into 2nd gear. Time for a rebuild?

Syncros are bad

Now a new day: yes, seems to be...

- I'd check gear lever linkage for play: maybe the gear levers dont move into box as far as they should?
- oil change, maybe try some of the zillion snake oils, like phasta xr1?

bent shift rod/fork?

A possible... but since 2nd gear is grinding... that means the syncro is bad for that gear. A bent shift for would just mean a earlier, or later engagment of the gear.

A quick Q, my s10 grinds 1st and 2ed. 2ed's real bad. Am I hurting it banging into 2ed all day, for the past 2-3 months of every day driving? Basicly I want to sell it and should I replace the syncros and have them worry if 2ed will ever strip the gears or get a junkyard tranny and worry about the whole thing?

S10 trannies are easy to drop. You might save a headache or two by replacing the whole thing... depending upon the new tranny being in decent shape.
