So what did I break ?
#1

Was playing around today, doing a couple little launches. Well, I did one and the tranny popped out of gear and I couldnt get it back into gear. It's as if I wasnt touching the clutch, if I pushed really hard I could hear the inside of the tranny whining and the truck trying to creep forward. Than I sat there for a minute and all of a sudden all the gears work again just like normal. However, 1st and second dont "feel" right through the shifter. So I drove it around and it drove fine, clutch grabbing fine, tranny working no noises. Driving around under boost about 10 minutes later, I was in second, and it was firmly fully in second, came under boost hard and it popped out with a loud bang. And again for at least a full minute clutch in or out, I couldnt shift the tranny, With the clutch in I through it in 3rd real hard to just get it in gear, it ground really loud and all of a sudden started working fine. It's symptoms of something ****ed up in the clutch like it's not releasing, but why the hell is it banging itself out of gear under load, and howcome I can't shift it or anything for about a minute than everything works fine ????????? It makes no sense to me

Sounds like it's in the trans to me...mine has locked itself out of gear after missing a shift. Only thing is mine stay locked out of gear...I took it apart and the syncro "slider" had a burr on it...

A bent shift fork is my guess. Does it go into 3rd,4th,5th,Reverse fine?
