I've searched.

Is there any easy way to make your gearbox shift smoother?

I drove flyinglizard and Justin's Celicas. Both of them have a VERY smooth gearbox, and it's amazing haha.

Mine is very rough, you can feel every time you shift. You can feel it go into the gear your in, then sticks into neutral, then sticks into the next gear. There is no smooth motion.

So will I need to rebuilt the transmission to have a smoother gearbox? Or is there an easy fix?

Thanks tongue.gif

some people have mixed results, you can try Pensoil synchromesh, some people claim that it makes the tranny shift smoother, I guess for the price, it's worth to try, if that fails, rebuilt / replace your tranny.

it may also be because of your clutch, what kind of clutch and how old ?

I'll try the Pensoil tomorrow. Getting my car up on a lift and gonna check some stuff out.

The clutch is about 6 months old. When I got a new one (needed one very bad), I thought it would fix the issue but it didn't. It's the same.

And what kind of tools would I need to rebuild the tranny? If I took it to a shop how much (approx) are we talking?

I mean I think it's a problem, but not a problem worthy to dump loads of money into. It just gets annoying, hah.

Thanks for the help!
