do you know why my svt 2000 had problem with the transmission,
whenever I accelerating(at 5000 to 6000 rpm) and shifting gear from 2nd to 3rd it is making sound like grinding sound in the transmission and it only happen on that shifting...but when I drive normally everything just normal...
did anybody have the same problem with me??
my car stocks no mod except the air intake
thanks

It sounds like it's the "bad third gear synchro" time of year... Mine went on Saturday Question is, can I rely on the car for a week until I have an opportunity to leave it with Ford? I have an 800 mile round-trip this week for Thanksgiving... Should I be concerned that I'll lose the ability to shift to any other gear, or should I just drive it?

your car will be fine, just be gentle putting it in gear or don't use third gear. I've had a bad 3rd gear synchro for a year and a half without issues

Iā??m having problem with my third gear also!
I have not been using it for like a month. Does anyone know how much will it cost to fix it?

And, do you know, is it possible to put a short-shifter?
