Sometimes when downshifting and only when downshifting, my f350 will grind when going into 2nd gear. I thought that by replacing the bushings, etc on the clutch swivel arm under the dash would fix it, but it still grinds.

Any ideas/suggestions??

1996 F350 crew cab dually, 7.3L turbo diesel w/ 5 speed manual transmission.

 

Following... have the same problem with my 97 F250. Replaced tranny fluid with mobil 1 synthetic and now grinds going into 3rd if over about 25 mph. Have an appointment with a transmission shop this morning.

 

Welcome to the site..

Syncros and shift fork issues were fairly common.
