very odd 6 speed problem

i have talked to a couple 3/s guys and havent had anyone else with this problem yet. i broke and a shift fork and i had a local place replace it and he told me my trans was great. 2 weeks later it was grinding in 2nd and 3rd. befor i could get back to him i was driving it and was shifting from 4th to 5th and hit 3rd. i then tried again and my shifter would not move to the right (i couldnt get 5th 6th or reverse). i then had family issues and was not able to deal with the guy that rebuilt it. i went out the other day and it would get every gear until it warmed up and then i lose them again. let it sit a couple days and everythings back until it warms up. this is in a 94 vr4

Im not sure what your problem is, could have broken or bent the fork again, or it could have been a poor repair.

Either way i would'nt drive the car anymore until the issue is fixed, you risk making the problem worse and damaging other parts that might not be hurt yet.

its parked right now. i thought a shift fork at first but i was told 5th and 6th arnt the same

Ask them what they used for trans fluid. I had a similar issue with using straight 30 weight engine oil. That was the first and last time I did that LOL.

i will check i added a bottle of lucas to stop the grind and it never overflowed i guess it could be stupid low or he may not of put any in as dumb as that sounds but its been sitting and there is no drips or signs of it leaking either

Check your clutch adjustment. Under the peddle you know. If adjusted too low, shifting will be a bitch.

thought id check real quick with u guys i have been told its best to run gm syncomesh but thought id see what u guys are running on here.

there is a long thread on the "other" website about synchromesh eating yellow metals. Don't remember the conclusion. I personally use amsoil mtg, because its specs are closest to the factory fill mitsubishi diaqueen.

Use the OEM fluid, there's been lots of comparisons on fluids OEM seem to work the best tho.

Here's the spec right out of the Master Elite Service Manual:

thanks im gong to pick some up today or tomorrow and see what happens if i put the right fluid in it

We use Amsoil MTG. It seems to work excellent on these transmissions. The pennsoil syncromesh is only used for the fwd transmission in our shop.
