86 GT 5 speed problems (Page 1/1)

Alright. My car had the 5 speed getrag. I’m not the most knowledgeable with transmissions but the trans makes a knocking sound in neutral clutch not pressed. Press the clutch and knocking sound goes away. It did this a few weeks ago and I changed the fluid. It had 5w30 engine oil in before (prev owner) and I put fresh synchromesh in it. Sound went away for a while, but now it’s back. Anyone have any ideas? Also do they make new dipsticks for that trans still? Mine stays loose.

Knocking sound? Do a search for 'Getrag Rattle' to see how it compares.....

Rodney makes a shim to tighten the dipstick.

That’s what it is Gall. Glad it’s not a problem. And thanks Larry. Going to have to pick up one of those.
