Bumping out of 2nd

nm9stheham said

That is the normal symptom when this area of the synchro assembly wears or does not engage right: stays in gear under power, pops out when coasting. Why it does not pop out under power, I can't explain, but it does indeed have the exact symptoms you describe. BTW, the 2 cases I have had like this were in 2nd gear one one trannie and 4th gear on another.

Like AJ sez: It won't fix itself. These trannies are not that hard to work on; it is just there are a few tricks to know, and it sounds like this area was missed. The standard rebuild kit these days won't have these springs and keys/struts, so I suspect most people don't know how they work or even what they do!

AJ, I never knew about wear on the clutch teeth so thanks for that.

(BTW, I'll fix it in trade for a 340 block LOL)

Thanks huys im kinda bumed now, i was hoping it was a common characteristic of the 833 as is the 4 speed whine. I really hope the guy who rebuilt the trans actually did what he said he was gonna do and didnt half a55 it, he said he only replaced anything that needed replaced and everything else looked good, like i said its not to a point where it does it everytime, may do it once every 10 or 15 times i drive it, usually i try not to let the engine brake the car and let them SSBC big bite rotors up front do the stopping, i think eventually down the road i may have it gone through again. But honestly i keep my hand on the shifter at all times, just a habit lol.
Its a original hurst shifter (not to the car) and it shifts like butter. Wonder if the vibration could cause it to release 2nd gear, when and rarely when it does it i dont hear any noise its almost like you just pulled the shifter to neutral, no violent action
