I know it's been suggested, but I had more of a problem with the 2-3 shift, prior to doing the motor mounts with the motor swap. Turned out they were both cracked in the rubber....
Might be worth a triple check. <G>
Dave,

Listen, don't ever be sarcastic to us online ever again. We've been taking noxplod for probably the last 5 months in a row, and I'm squatting 450 for reps, little man. Don't ever think for one second that I wouldn't squash you like the little bug you are. Girls come up to me and ask if I'm a professional body builder all the time, and they also say how hot I am. So if you ever begin to think for one second that you're better than me, you better think again. i drive an M3 that's not leased, and I can bench twice my weight (I weigh 210 at 7% bodyfat, ------). PM me for pics if you don't believe me, little ------. Final warning.

^First, if you ever talk **** to one of the locals again, I'll sign you up for a lifetime Playgirl subscription. Second, if somebody asks you a question at another location, it's probably because they're trying to get you a solution in the shortest amount of time.... ON THE OFFCHANCE YOU LOG IN SOMEWHERE AND ONLY CHECK YOUR AIM AND DON'T HAVE TIME FOR SURFING, YOU'LL GET THE ANSWER SOONER AND MAYBE SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM! And adding a smiley at the end of your post doesn't mean it's OK to be a dick... dick.

Don't mess with Hustler, I saw him in person at the National Amateur Bodybuilders Convention in Tulsa, OK, he was banned from the contest for looking way to proffesional. We later hung out at the local straight bar and he bought six dudes drinks just for staring at his crotch. I kid you not, that NOexplod stuff will make you a queer ************, I suggest you go buy some yourself and comeback and then start posting.
As far as you grind, how are your motor mounts?

Hey man, If it were the slave cylinder. it would scratch all gears. Not just 3rd. Try bleeding it anyway. It is a simple mark off the list.
I wouldn't take the whole thing out if 1,2,4,5th gears worked good.
This probably isn't it. But it is good maintenance anyway. My tranny was hard to shift in gear and I added oil to my shifter and it smoothed alot out. If your oil drained out of your shifter when the tranny was out this might help.
This was the first car I had ever had to add oil to the shifter. It only took a few minutes and helped alot.

Bleeding it for mait. too so getting it out of the way. I have a six speed so the oil that i add to the shift turret goes into the transmission. I wanted some kind of lubricant in there so I greased the shifter. That is probably along the lines of what hustler said to those guys at the bar

Might just be worth checking....
When my tranny started having issues and I noticed that I could lift my tranny by pulling up on my shifter, it was too late....I wish I had checked.
Check the big motherfuckin bolts that go into the PPF. Mainly the ones that go into the tranny itself, not so much the ones on the rear.
One of mine came loose and fell while I was on the street, major suckage. I immediately had to pull over and fix it, and once I was under there I saw another was loose and one was missing.

Then I started having problems going into gear once and awhile, and I noticed the shifter had some movement to it. Then I had to drive the car back home from New Haven (like a 45min drive) holding the tranny up the whole ride with the voodoo **** to keep it from bouncing. I didn't know what the **** was going on.
Next day, on my way home from the shop the same thing "clink" and scraping noise. I pulled over and put the right side of the car on a curb and climbed under and saw this 14" bolt bent to **** and hanging from the PPF. I luckily keep my toolbox in the trunk for **** like this. Put it back in, tightened the other one that was loose, and still have one missing (from the first clink I'm assuming). I plan on taking care of it for good while I'm currently doing the other work.
But no more problems with the tranny since then....

scott had one (loose!) bolt holding his drive shaft on. I ate a burger w/lars while he fixed it. awesome.
3rd gear could be lubrication or marginal clutch (do both 1 and 2 have synchros? does 3?)
