Well my trans is having issues. I just replaced the trans fluid maybe 3 months ago, maybe 4k miles, but it just started happening.
Today I was driving to school and it started slipping out of gear occasionally. It goes into gear fine with no grinds or anything, but as I let out the clutch it pops out of gear. If I hold the shifter in gear using a little bit of pressure until the clutch is fully released, it stays in gear fine. I was hoping somehow the bump stops on my tri ax came loose or something, but I checked the shifter out and it seems fine. I called a few mechanic buddies who all said it sounds like my syncros are going out and to start saving up for a rebuild.

Any ideas on what might be going on? I don't know much about transmissions. I know the t45 isn't the strongest trans, but I have never powershifted it and I was hoping it would hold up better. Thanks

In front of you
sounds like synchros to I, t45s arent the beefiest of trannies ive had this issue on the past when you put any decent power in front of them.

Could try making sure your transmember is tight. Mine started getting pretty loose and wouldn't shift into some gears and popped out. Might be a simple solution.
