So for some strange reason, my 3rd gear decided to crap out on me and is literally not there. When shifting into third, it feels like its going in but after engaging the clutch the motor just revs.
It started having issues a couple months ago when driving in the city at around 2500-3000rpm. I was gaining speed at half throttle and the transmission started chattering and the car jolted back and forth for 5 seconds then stopped. I tried to repeat the same action in third gear but it would not duplicate the problem.Â* This happened 4 times in the last couple months. The last time was getting on a highway and it chattered more violently and I kicked it into 4th right away. Next time I went into third, nothing was there...
This is the strange part. I had the tranny fluid drained and there was no shavings or chunks of metal inside. The selector forks are all in tact and everything is fine externally. Very strange.
I am sending my transmission to shepherd trans to look into it. I am confused on what is actually going on internally.
