Re: Finally got my Evo

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.
