really? i know that the dealerships around here will fix the TSB's i guess they're nicer than some. Of course i am kinda pushy when i get pissed...the whole marine thing comes out and i think they do it just to shut me up and get me out.

I mean it's still worth a shot to see if they will fix it if not i would either upgrade or buy the billet kit and DIY

The big deal to dealerships about TSB's is they have to recreate the problem when they drive. So I'd make sure it does it under normal driving conditions. My friend had the same problem with his RX-8 and they fixed it on mazda's dime. Best of luck

lol I don't have to break it more. It is loud as hell. They clunk and bang all the time. Its kind of embarrasing actually, but since i put an o/r x pipe and flowmasters with dumps you really cant hear it in the car anymore. HA HA

Meeehh, it's the whole eastern seaboard thing.. Every dealership I ever went to in VA was like that. Didn't want to do jack unless you had some kind of a legal reason for it. I tried being pushy, I tried being nice, hell once I got so pissed off I got kicked out of Hall Ford in Newport News. lol Nothing ever seem to work no matter how nice or mad I was.

If they'll actually be nice and fix it, go for it brudda. Synchro's are definitely a pain in the ***..
