that throwout bearing is annoying cuz its whinny and the syncros are a pain when i try to shift quickly and it doesnt shift. But its still a pretty good tranny no real problems yet.

well.. the owners before me had to have the tranny rebuilt at 1k miles because it wouldnt go into 3rd gear for some odd reason.. so they pretty much replaced all the internals in the tranny.... so when i bought the car with 17k miles on it.. i drove it till about 18k miles and i had to have the syncros replaced along with a couple forks.... i dont like the 3650 tranny.... right now when i shift into a gear very hard it sounds like a tooth is chipping or something?

I bought my car at 20,000 miles and immediately noticed the second gear grind... Ive had the car for about 3 months now, and the problem hasnt gotten any worse, mainly cause I NEVER powershift, and I let the RPMs come back down before I shift when its cold...I never forced it into ger and made it grind, so it never got worse, I put about 10,000 mile on it so far, and Ive learnrd to live with it, but as soon as the weather brakes, im trying different tranny fluid to hopefully get a little smoother engagement when its cold...
