I have posted before with this problem...
1979 280zx non turbo, 5spd manual
My car tranny crunches in every gear up and down shifting when cold. As soon as the car warms up, it shifts very well (for a 20 year old car) People here, and all over have told me that I should drop the tranny fluid to something thinner... and that it would solve my prob. Well, I talked to a guy at a tranny shop here in town, and he said its probably the syncros. Now when the car warms up, would that affect the way the syncros work?? Or is this guy just trying to get $$ outta me?
Also, I know a buy in town who will replace all syncros (parts and labour included) for approx $400CANADIAN... is this a good deal? what does a job like this normally cost? Also will it make my tranny like new? While hes in there (if I have him do it) what else should be replaced?
Thank you, and sorry for the long post...
