see, i'm in the same boat as you, chris. my 1st and 2nd synchros are pretty much gone. but why buy a used tranny that someone may have beaten on? the synchros may be half gone on the used tranny. i plan on doing mine this summer. i don't think the parts will be too expensive. but i'm sure it'll be time consuming.

it costed me 35$ per synchos and 2 day of time.
the job isnt really hard, but you need a good memory and good tool!
i think its better to rebuilt you're tranny than a used one no?
the used wont be in "like new" condition..

ace, what special tools did you need?

I'd love to get it coverded under warranty but it expired about 12k miles ago.

I bought my car just before the 10yr 100k mile PT waranty came out.

Chris,
I'm in the same boat. My 5 yr ran out last year.

Plus my 3rd gear syncro is toast. I sometimes have to double clutch to get it in there. When I changed the gear oil, though, there were no metal shavings. But something's definitely wrong.

I'm trying to put this off until it gets really awful, or I need a new clutch. Then I'll do a whole tranny rebuild at once.

good luck,
ac

I'm outta warranty, but my gearbox is good.

I never force the synchros, especially when the gearbox oil is cold.

ive done 140,000km, and i aint no grandma driver wink
