[QUOTE="CJK440, post: 10559921, member: 43980"] If you are getting a grinding noise and the gears don't engage then the slider that engages the syncro hub and gear teeth simply isn't moving far enough into position. If you are sure the shifter is all the way into gear then there is a problem somewhere in between the shift block under the shifter all the way to the syncro slider. The T-45 has a convoluted way to engage 5th and reverse. While the 1-4 forks are on the main shift rail, there is a lever on the side contacts the main shift rail but actuates another rail to move the 5th/rev fork. There are a lot more interactions compared to 1-4. I would contact somebody familiar with T-45's and see if they can help. I'd start with Wally at Promotion, he was very helpful and might be able to point you in the proper direction, perhaps it can be rectified by just removing the tail housing. Either way, I'm pretty sure its not bearing issue as a bearing issue would not be a cause for the gear not to engage. Perhaps one other check would be to pop your shifter off and try to manually actuate the shift block comparing it to the engagement of 1 & 3. Keep in mind without the shifter the block moves completely opposite. To move into 5th the block moves toward the driver and rearward. P.S. You don't happen to have any sort of gasket (other than a skim of RTV) between your shifter base and the tranny case? [/QUOTE]
