Thanks Dan,

I did see Randy at PRK in Mesa last week. They took the trans out and sent it to Chris at AMP Performance, a Tremec dealer, to check it out. AMP found the 5th gear synchro needed to be replaced due to a "clearance issue". Guess when the synchro heated up, the clearance was too tight causing the grinding into 5th and reverse.

Also learned that my T5 is not a Z Spec trans, hence no synchro for reverse. I need to go to 5th before shifting into reverse.

The trans still is not right. It's tough at time to shift and even there are times that I need to apply more force then is expected to get into gear. Something is not right.

I called AMP and explained the situation. Chris said that some T5 trans are better then some. Guess I got one of the "some". I going to again reach out to Randy and Chris and see what they say.
