Grindin' Gears

[Shawn Head]

Adam,

My 86' CGT has been doing the same thing since I bought it.  However I
have recently been able to find the sweet spot so it doesn't grind "as
badly".  I am also curious as to what could be causing this problem.

*    Hello all, my 1988 Audi 90 FWD 5 speed has been losing a synchro in
*3rd gear.  About 9 months ago it would grind only when the revs were
*very mis-matched (shifting from 6500 rpm in second).  Nowadays 3rd gear
*will will grind everytime unless i match the revs perfectly.
*
*   So i was wondering what is *actually* happening when i hear that
*terrible grinding noise.  I know it cant be good for the car, but am i
*actually doing that much damage?
*
*and for my last question... what does it take to repair my problem? and
*how much? :D
*thanks a great deal everyone!!
