So just recently I'd say 4 days ago its been getting hard to shift to 2nd and 3rd in my s13 ,but not really any noise unless i keep the rpms high in 1st.

I assume it will really start to grind as time goes on so when I switch gears for now I do so slowly... granny shifting.

My question is could it be the synchronizes I'll have to replace and where would I be able to pick them up (or online) in California, Orange County area? Or would I have to get the whole transmission rebuilt/replaced?

*Note I just bought this car as is in August 26th so I know I have a lot of work to do and unsure what the guy did to this car that I need to replace.

Thank you.

try changing the tranny oil with amsoil first
