this happened to my jetta, I never found out what it was. it could be the tranny that's shot.

synchro is shot...i say just run it as is....or burn the car

Yep busted synchros

I had a VW split window bus that I bought with a bungee cord screwed to the floor that was used to hold it in 4th gear I put a ton of miles on it that way and sold it that way. Got real good at the one handed thumb hold finger sweep to the bungee lock & load move

Tranny only got 58xxx and i dont be banging 5th gear thats bs for the syncro to go

Smokincivics

Yo idk how that could have happen out of all the gears and i bang second everyday

Keep in mind that we have a Camry tranny

Smokincivics

I don't think we have the camry engine, the camry engine has different gearing.

scions have horrible synchros no matter how many miles you have, people with 20k miles have had synchro problems like that. if you have a warranty id try and go to toyota asap

Smokincivics

yea but you know the deal is 5 speed there gonna say normal wear and tear ill try but well see what happens

TunerKid

VW are notorious for crappy synchros and apparently so is scion!

TunerKid

its the same motor as the camry but the tranny is different!

try reinstalling and torqueing it again. newer civics had this with 3rd gear.

Smokincivics

Reinstalling what the tranny

yeah I meant the tranny is different. woops

and OP this is a common problem with TC's and XB2's so they shouldn't say anything considering its covered by the warranty, if it were the clutch you wanted replaced that's a different story.

the civic story was just a recall all in itself.

just go to the dealer i have a 06 w/43k miles and my 4th and 5th where poping out its under warranty so its not costing me a dime these cars trannys are jokes i cant wait for dezod or ptuning to come out with diff gears or finaldrive

Junkyard prayers FTW. Try and pick up a tranny there. You can also purchase a set of stronger synchros and have a shop put them in...if you dont think you can do them.

Both options are cheaper than a new tranny.

and where can you get this "set" of stronger synchros? noone sells a stronger synchro kit anywhere. the only person I know who has a customized tranny set up on the streets is TCpete, all his gearing is completely different from various other toyota tranny's

I'll try the dealership on tues and go from there I'll jump back on here and let you know what happens thanks
