The gear shift quality on my 82 924 is poor. It does not slot into 2nd smoothly and 'grinds' slightly gong into 3rd (you feel the vibration in your hand rather than hear it). Car has 75 000 miles and gear oil not changed in a long while. Clutch does not slip. What could be the cause?

Have it aligned and tires balanced. If the tires are not in good shape replace them.

If this is a manual / stick shift gear box it could be the 3rd gear synchronizing cone is worn out , you need to inspect and probably need to change it had this problem with my Nissan Datsun 120Y

The 3rd Gear Synchro is worn or damaged, which is why it grinds when you try to upshift or downshift into 3rd gear. When it goes out completely you will have a very hard time shifting into 3rd gear, since the Synchro lines up the gears to make shifts smooth and easy.

possible selector linkage adjustment , loose or shifted

is your transmission manual or automatic

check shift fork adjustment. make sure you bleed the slave cylinder.also check shift cable adjustment.

you need to replace clutch pack for that gear can be ordered seperately from parts store or dealer if you want to save money call peach street auto recycling at 1800-365-2341 for a warrantied used one! also might be time for change trans filter and fluid filter could be slightly clogged but I lean towards clutch pack I replace these alot on Hondas

ummm i would say you need to adjust your trans shift cable, check your fluid level, and the problem i had with my dodge was similar to yours... it was my 3rd-4th actuator spring, it had broke and couldnt hold the pressure to keep it in gear

STOP Downshifting!
STOP Forcing gear change, watch the Engine RPMs and shift accordingly, HOMBRE's are as good as the operator's. Hombre's have dash shift indicators which illuminate when it's time to 'shift' and not before, This has nothing to do with gear oil either. If you've drained it, you best fill it immediately and make sure it's ample level. The heat these gears sustain in is inceredible, cooling lubricant is essential. Here's a tip, while engine is OFF, ignition key is engaged, dash is illuminated, depress clutch peddle, keep it depressed and walk through all gears with gear shift, shifting should be smooth and unpeded, including reverse. If resistance is experienced at one or more gears, gear alignment is off as a result of inproper gear shifting while driving. Continue to drive vehicle just shift slower until clutch needs replacement then do an entire drive shaft upgrade. It worth it, it's great truck.
