so i have a 1999 v6. and i was wondering which job is more expensive to do at a dealer. replacing the synchro's? or doing a complete clutch job?i am asking this because i basically have the choice to have either done at the shop free of charge.cuz they messed up.

syncros by far man...no doubt about it...they have to pull the trans, then take it apart and rebuild it completly a lot of work...

alright, cuz see. what happened was the shop i took it to. they diagnosed a bad clutch, so they replaced it and charged me 900$. but that didn't fix anything. they tried adding some fluid, that made it better for a week or two. then i took it back in and now they think it's the synchros. so it's been in there for about a month or longer. i should get it back monday. they haven't said anything about chargin me for it tho. so i think ill just let it go if he doesn't charge me for the synchro job. i wont take him to court for charging for a misdiagnosis.

I don't get it... bad syncros or a bad clutch give 2 entirely different problems. What are your symptoms?

A bad clutch will slip badly when released, or chatter like crazy, etc,.. Bad synchros will cause your tranny to make grinding noises when changing gears. What is/were your original problem?
