Default Re: Kormex Tranny Issues !!!

Ok, guys...I was the original poster and here is my update. After babying my shifts and tranny for another 300 miles it is very inconsistent. Again I have syncroshift II and a total of about 700 city miles on my reman tranny and new clutch. It was relatively cold here for awhile now its about 55 average.

My shifts are notchy in every gear. When in first gear pulling it out and going into second there is resistance. It feels like trying to pull it out of 1st gear with the clutch not depressed all the way, and believe me it is. I will even hold in it for a split second before touching the shifter. That only happens sporadically but when it does, it leads me to believe my clutch is dragging. But it doesn't do that all the time.

Then if it does come out of gear smoothly, it always pauses in neutral before going into any other gear. Which is ok for normal driving but I do plan on racing hence the reason I spent 3000+ on all this work, and thats not going to fly.

After pausing in neutral for a second it feels like it has to work its way into gear. Like you need a light hand on the shifter so it can wiggle its way in just right.

This is not what I expected at all. Thats why I am so disappointed. The only difference between my reman $2800 kormex trans and my stock one with 90K on it, is a little less notchiness but not any faster in shifting.

I do have a stainless steel clutch line to install and I'm going to re-bleed the clutch and see if that helps at all.

I thought there would be a night and day difference especially for having a reman tranny/xcase, brand new clutch, brand new clutch master cylinder and top of the line fluid. I should be shifting like butter, with no resistance.

Any ideas or suggestions are very appreciated

And from my experience as I sit right now I WOULD NOT recommend a kormex tranny to anyone who has a decent tranny and is still driveable!!! Chance are its no better than yours right now. Someone please prove me wrong!!!
