Unfortunately my car is only quiet at idle. But they are dumped after the m80s so everything rattles in the car and drones like crazy. Anyways I have one of the two bearings I was missing for the countershaft and I get the other today so this weekend I should have it all put back together

So I have the trans back in the car and i hooked up the shifter linkage before installing and I was in a hurry being rushed out of the shop so I put it in backwards so I couldnt bolt in the stabilizer. Anyways it still isnt drivable still until i flip it back over but i did manage to get it in 4th to move it. will be done tuesday evening though

Getting closer! I find it needs to warm up bit before it starts shifting smoothly.

yea so when i first started driving it man was it hard to shift. It is getting better but I realize I should have got the upgraded syncros as well because if I try to lightly shift it it like to grind... But it is fun

Glad your back on the road and with reverse now too! It should break in some after few days or so.

yea so its like my 4th gear syncro is non existant

That sucks, you're enjoying it otherwise i hope.

Yea I do enjoy it, the 1-4 pull is rediculous fast now lol. I feel like just by switching the 1-4 gears gave me 2-3 tenths in the 1/4
