[QUOTE="PM-Performance, post: 16572132, member: 176806"] The issue isn't what people make it to be. 1. one of the issues is caused by traction issues with people trying to bang into gear with no traction and the syncro's cannot lineup properly and cause lockout or scratching of the gears between shifts Fix = Get better tires, then move to step 2 2. the other issue is that when you actually do have traction, there is some movement in the motor mounts and trans mount that allows the motor to shift down in the back and causes shifter alignment causing lockout. Fix= Stabilize the trans with a CHE brace or stiffer motor mounts. If the prior owner just muscled through shifts while spinning the tires check the syncros as they tend to shear when people do this. If the car drives fine under normal driving and shifts fine, the syncros are fine. Diff fluids only change the characteristics with temperatures and light throttle driving. These are remote mounted shifters. . .. it all has to do with everything lining up properly when making the shift. Has absolutely nothing to do with gears or syncros or fluids if we are talking about lockout issues [/QUOTE]
