I think the driver will be the difference.


Agreed. That doesn't mean you can't own a nice car (I know all about this particular point. lol.)

^Of course, most people these days just keep dumping money into it to make up the difference.

GH your car is beautiful and I would love to have it.

I like that shot of the trunk, looks awesome. I'm sure I will get a good look at it if we ever roll. hahaha

Had to get some Jimmy John's after my tune, so I snapped this picture quick. I just uploaded it this morning, had almost forgot about it. Probably one of my favorite pics of the car already haha

Sweet. 4th gear has been grinding lately, really taking it easy shifting into 4th. Bad synchro I'm sure. Ron says the trans has to come out to replace it. :( I don't have a ton of money right now, but I also don't feel like doing this job more than once. I wish I could have it fixed while in the car to keep the cost to a minimum, but it sounds like that is out of the question.

Maybe if I plan it right, I can do the swap in a weekend, and then have Ron swap in a good 4th gear synchro from my spare trans to the one in it now, and then sell it.

The rest of the trans is mint, maybe I could re-coup most of the cost by doing that? thoughts?

Anyone have a spare 5 speed laying around? I see AWDMotorsports sells the full conversion kit (Base, shifter, linkage, reverse switch, bracketry on trans and trans mount) for $350 now. :)

Good luck.

When does it grind? My 5th gear grinds any time I shift into it over 4000 RPM and it's been like this for a few years. Live with it until you can fix it the right way.

Pretty much what you described. I would really like to drag race it this summer though. I don't know, it just really sucks. Disappointing as this trans is already the 2nd one the car has had in it and it is only supposed to have ~30k miles on it by now. It's a real light grind, not like total gear chipping action yet, but I'd still like it taken care of before total destruction.
