Super T-10 Grinds in second
Ok up until like the past few days my Z has shifted fine, then one night she decided she wants to grind into second(unless I baby it in) and from 3rd to second downshift no matter what. Now my question is are my Synchros toast or is it tellin me to change/check fluid level. And what fluid should I use?

Re: Super T-10 Grinds in second
You can check the fluid level, but if the other gears work fine, I doubt you'll find any difference.
It takes 85-90W gear oil. Plain jane stuff.
I think you might be looking at a rebuild tho

Ugh as long as it hold out till I finish fighting with GN to cover their warranty on my truck I'll be happy the Z would normally be retired until spring by now

Re: Super T-10 Grinds in second
empty the fluid, see if theres any bronze flakes in it which would elude to the fact that the whats it called ring is toast. blocker ring? i think its called im totally drawing a blank, but ill call it the blocker ring for now. yes i would say your synchro is what is to blame for the problem.

Re: Super T-10 Grinds in second
yea, that might do it. If you have the tooling to do a rebuild? you need a press for certain aspects... Might be able to bring the shaft into a shop and grease their palms with $20 or something for a big of quick help.
pick up a book on the matter. I have one and it uses the T10 as one of their examples, doesn't seem *that* hard, if you're mechanically inclined and have some tools...

Re: Super T-10 Grinds in second
Here are 2 sites I have bookmarked for T10 info back when it was still in my car...
http://fiedlerh.home.att.net/BW.htm
http://www.circletrack.com/techartic...ild/index.html
And this site has parts to rebuild, the owner is very knowledgeable. I was planning to use him to rebuild mine had I kept it..
