Does anyone grind going into second gear on the high revs, if so what can i do??????:shrug:

ya it happens to the best of us, the shifter likes to pop out of place on those high revs, my best advice is a) short shifter b)really focus on that shift, hold it in place during clutch let out c) dont get too ancy, dont rush through the cycle like it's a sports car, remember, this is a clunky ass truck :waytogo:

I have the trd short shifter, its just when i am going into second really fast it makes a little grind, but its only when i am almost at redline. when i shift slow it doesnt do it. . .:looney:

Great. It is still a problem in 07??? Mine has always done it. A lot of people have the same problem. I was really hoping that they they finally fixed this problem in the last two years...

Go to the dealer and complain about it, PLEASE.

I had the same problem EVERY time i did that. I used the additive for the LSD in the gear oil... Problem is completely gone. You can get it from any dealer. Part # 00602-41301-101

I am definitely going to complain about it, i just dont know how to tell them other than. . . when i go shift fast to second it grinds. . .:doah: :brickknoc . . .but the additive is added where??

Mine has done this since new but only when I tried to speed shift at high rpm I have posted about this before, and have found that the best thing you can do is change the gear oil to synthetic. I use redline gl-4 75w-90 in mine. It doesn't completely fix the problem but its much! better

The transmission uses gear oil inside of it to lubricate it. He changed the gear oil inside the transmission not the rear diff.

The mechanic did it for me when we were installing the S/C... it's $10 and goes where gear oil does. there may be a write-up somewhere on changing gear oil. Im not the best to explain it thats for sure. All i know is it worked lol.
