- Navajo (Explorer Spt) '93
I've got a '93 Mazda Navajo 4x4 with a 5 speed manual transmission.
The past few days, when I try to downshift, the transmission, and not the engine, seems to start to "race" or "rev-up" when I have the clutch in and start to move the stick into the gear I wan to reach (say going from 4th to 3rd). It doesn't seem to do it when upshifting, though I think occassionally it does.
It doesn't grind, when I follow thru into the gear I want, but it does feel like it may start doing that. The only way I can describe it is that it sounds like some gear(s) are whizzing around at high speed when this happens. It's also been hard to shift into 1st gear from a dead stop too, but am not sure if it's related as I've had the hard shift problem off/on for the past year.
Any ideas or methods to begin isolating the problem?
Thanks
