I know this is in the saturn forum but maybe anyone could help me.
i have a 95 neon manual. Everytime I shift into 2nd gear it grinds and it happens only in 2nd gear. Everyone I talked to said it sounds like a synchroid(sorry if not spelled right) but I was wondering if anyone has had this problem and if they got it fixed and how much it would cost...Do you think it would be cheaper just to get a new transmission cuz i heard the labor would be a lot. Also does anyone know how much a camsensor is...engine lights on and thats what the code read..thanx
Thanx
(I like my saturn alot better)

The cam sensor is on for the saturn and the neon...its wierd. Do you think it would be cheaper to get a new transmission or get the synchro fixed??

My 97 SC2 sometimes grinds in 3rd. A friend told me it may be a bent fly wheel. What's the best way to get at the synchro?

replacing the scynros requires overhauling the transmission. (which isn't hard, its kinda fun to work on manual transmissions)

ok on the neon the clutch was just replaced about 2 months ago and about 2 weeks later that grinding in 2nd gear started. Do you think it could be a bent fly wheel or is it just a wierd coincidence that the transmission started to act up??

i never have heard of the bent flywheel theory, but i can under stand how a new clutch can cause this problem to appear. the purpose of the synrco is make a shift smoother. new clutch = firmer shift = more work the syrnco needs to do.

the basic test of a bad syncro is to double clutch(release clutch, shift out of 1st gear in neutral, apply clutch, wait for RPMs to drop, release clutch, shift into second)
