Oh oh What did I do? Trans grind
So was driving the car pretty hard today and actually blew a couple shifts which was kinda weird, doesn't normally happen. Anyways everything seemed fine, parked it for a few hrs then went for a drive, very noticeable grind going from 4th to 5th every shift. Seems fine everywhere else. Did I destroy a syncro or something? Should I take it to ford or a good tranny shop, no warrenty left

Sounds like you blew a synchro. Mine did that but with third. I had 40,000 miles on my car and Ford replaced 1st thru 4th synchros under warranty. When it blew it took the clutch with it. Definitely not a fan of this transmission.

5th gear is a known weak spot in the box. You have indeed probably taken a couple teeth off the synchro ring, or rounded them off at least. Can you slow the shift down slightly and it get better?

I'm thinking of just going with the Tremec Magnum xl trans I've been reading about. Expensive but hopefully will last. Any opinions on it?
