I was hoping someone could help me out here. I have a 1999 CSVT with 112,000 miles. The tranny seems like it has just gone to hell. Sometimes, it pops out of 2nd gear and grinds like crazy, the 3rd gear syncros are bad,
Stop here: this sounds like a TRASHED gearbox
Quote:
and in 4th gear mostly, sometimes 3rd or 5th, the car will sometimes rev up alot, but doesn't accelerate anywhere. Maybe it's the clutch?
Yes - it's the clutch - probably worn or glazed

I don't know what the problem is with this thing, i was just looking for some advice from people who know more than me about these cars.
I know a fair bit about them and I can tell you you're looking at a new clutch and a rebuilt tranny - minimum
there is no clutch adjustment other than bleeding it - but that doesn't effect how well it grabs - but rather how well it disengages. So no bleeding it won't help you.
