4th gear questions zf-5 speed

[93f250idi]

My truck has always grinded shifting into 4th gear. But I noticed today if I double clutch it it doesn't grind . Just wondering if the syncro is bad or something else? Thanks!

Your clutch maybe. My '93 did the same thing.

Syncros or slider

I agree with Brad, my 92 did this with 5th, and my 85 did it in reverse...

FWIW you can drive lots of miles just double clutching. Doing so compensates for the worn parts. I wouldn't tear a transmission apart just to fix something like that.

Thanks guys. Ya it's shifts perfect if I double clutch so I'm not to worried about it. Just found a cclb f350 4x4 for a good price that needs a timing chain. It's a 351 zf5 4x4 d60 front. I'm thinkin of dropping my engine and trans Into it and having a badass truck.
