well, you present 3 options with totally different "ballpark figures." &nbsp;
Tranny work, maybe couple hundred. &nbsp;Sounds like syncro's to me. &nbsp;

New tranny, 500+ for a used one (who's to say it wont have worn syncros too...) , install time (if you pay someone to do it)

SR over 1k + install time, troubleshooting, etc.

If you're planning a swap and have the cash, go ahead. &nbsp;

But to spend it on a new tranny is kinda stupid if you can get away cheaper by fixing it or spend a bit more for a swap.

You might want to try Redline MT-90 tranny fluid. &nbsp;It helped with my 300ZX TT tranny woes. &nbsp;Of course, it is only a temporary fix. &nbsp;Sometime down the road, you will need the tranny worked on.
