Well, the fifth gear synchronizer has decided it's had enough. It grinds going into fifth unless I shift very carefully and slow. I've never opened a transmission before and I don't think this is the one to learn on so I'm looking for advice on what to do. I think a rebuilt/refurbished trans is in the $3,500 range which is not the option I particularly care for. I'd like to just have to this one rebuilt with higher quality components or maybe just have the synchros replaced. With the exception of the typical whine, clunks and other mt82 charm there's no other issues I've experienced.
I've had the car for 3 months. It's has 20,800 miles on it. I've fitted a Barton hybrid 3 shifter (trans mounted) and an off-road h pipe. It is otherwise stock. This car is a weekend cruiser and my most prized possession lol. I love this car.
So what would you do? Spring for a rebuilt/refurbished? Have it gone through and rebuilt with aftermarket bits? Just do the synchros? None of the above? I'm all ears
