Starting a thread about what could happen is not going to help you. I mean if we tell you that you might throw a rod in the future are you going to go and get a fully built motor right away? If we tell you that your alternator might go four times in a year are you going to go and buy four alternators to prepare?
Just fix the car as it breaks and we will help you a long the way. This thread could get as long as a new girl thread if we listed everything that could and will happen to your car.

LOL!! You're probably right on that. I've always driven 2Gs and this is my first 1G and my 3rd dsm. Just asking for the obvious possibilities, not the long shots. For example, in a 2g, I KNOW it'll crankwalk sooner or later - that kinda stuff is what I'm looking for.
[QUOTE=TheBlizzard]It also depends on how you drive. If you are a moron and can't shift and always grinds gears you are going to wear out your synchros and then in turn will break shift forks and rails

BTW, I shift well and been driving a stick for just about 15 yrs. So far I've only blown 3 clutches and 1 tranny in that time. I shift hard though and FAST. But the shifts are pretty clean.
