Synchro wasted: Path of least resistance to clean shifting?
Posted: Sun Nov 25, 2007 6:55 am
Hello all,
I've got the grinding 3rd gear synchro problem on my 92 Legacy L 5spd. I've played with some of the different cocktails in the "Sticky: Grinding synchros..." thread and while my current cocktail (Royal Purple + GM Synchromesh) has helped, it still leaves something to be desired - I still crunch into 3rd gear sometimes. What is my "path of least resistance" to getting a clean shifting transmission? Junkyard used? Rebuilt? Have someone repair my transmission (which shifts perfectly otherwise). Cost isn't the only consideration, and I'd like to be reasonably sure I've got something that will go another 100K/miles... What would you expect to pay for your preferred option? The car's main mission is a daily driver, but I could potentially autox it a little. I'd probably go ahead an do a clutch job while in there. Any other work make sense when the trans is pulled? Thanks,
- BAKA
