When shifting into reverse when in park, itll grind a bit. It doent do that when shifting into any other gear.
It was grinding a lot in 2nd until I messed with the clutch a bit.
Since than that gear has quieted down a lot.
Over all it grinds in every gear, 3rd is just the loudest.
When im going down hill, the car will slow itself down slightly and grind even more.
If im going the right speed in 3rd there wont be any grinding at all.
Neutral is perfectly fine.
Im new to when it comes down to transmissions.
I bought the car for $800 so I dont mind putting some money back into it.
I drive it to work and back, its been grinding since I bought it.Need a replacement transmission? Quality transmissions are hard to find.

Normally, the synchronizers bring the equalize the speeds of the engine and transmission so that shifts go smoothly without the annoying “crung” you hear when you are late shifting between gears.
Normally, if you shift anywhere near the actual shift-point where the engine and transmission are in synchronized, there’s really no issue as the system allows for this type of slip. The result is a pretty noiseless shift because everything revving at the same speed.
If, however, the synchronizers are worn to any degree, they are unlikely to spin up correctly and the upshifts or downshifts will be noisy (grinding).
The only solution to this problem is replacement of the synchros. The cost, depending on the number of devices that have to be repaired, could run up to $1,000 or a bit more.
