I just replaced the Isuzu 5-spd transmission in my 87 4 cyl with a junk
yard
tranny. I checked everything when it wasn't running and it shifted
beautifully. After I started the engine, it wouldn't shift into anything
but 5th and really grinding trying to get into reverse. I checked the
reservior, and it was overfull, so I sucked out a cup of fluid. It checks
fine now, so I started the engine again. Now it shifts, but it still
grinds
a little and it's difficult to shift.
The hydraulic clutch is full and bled.
The tranny cables are rigged correctly.
Now what?
I'm thinking maybe the fluid needed to soak in and around the synchros,
but
since replacing that tranny sucked, I'm hesitant to try my theory because
I
REALLY don't want to do it again.
TIA,
Christopher
