So, I finally had some time to throw my car on the rack at the shop. I installed a pair of new engine mounts since my old ones ripped the tops right off. While I had it up there, thought it would be a good idea to do a trans fluid flush. The stuff came out gold colored -- wow. Those were my synchros, break bands, gears etc. Replaced with some Swepco and now it shifts like KY.

Oh, and I can do burnouts again. Yay!

And exactly HOW does Kentucky shift? The Cap'n

BTW, if the gear oil came out "gold", new oil ain't gonna fix it .............

Cap'n I know I got issues with this trans... The fluid hasn't been changed in a long time. When I can afford new synchros and break bands and bearings and gaskets I intend to service the transmission.

Who knows... I may just get another for a few bills, rebuild that and throw it in with the engine I plan to install (I can finish work on it once I get my engine stand back). This one, the drain plug is seriously fucked up. I drained it by removing the gear-selection cover on the left.

...And not KY the state...
