if im going 70mph+ and try to downshift to 4th or upshift to 4th it grinds before it goes in, it just started happening tonight, i don't know why..

earlier today i let my friend drive the car and he scratched 2nd, that couldnt have caused it could it?

there goes your syncros...join the club...just: rev match every down, save up, rebuild/replace, and post in the right section...

thats why i dont let other ppl drive my car...

same... i don't let other people drive my car either

revmatching still uses synchros.

you have to double clutch now

spend 100 bucks and get a used tranny

just play around with it

you'll know you got it right when the gear slides into place with a very gentle push

it'll feel smooth as silk
