Is this a common problem with the 96's? I heard that the synchro's go bad fast. The 1-2 "grind" shift sucks.
Also, what do you guys think of a repairing the trans or should i just get a better one. Say a TKO 600
Mike,
2nd is usually the first that goes for obvious reasons. I replaced the trans in my 95 last October. I went with a new TKO 500. The 500 is a nice set-up based on my plans for the car, but these things are pretty noisy. When I say noisy, a stong rattle coming from under the shifter at idle and in 5th gear at highway speed.
Drives me crazy. I've had it looked at by the install mechanic as well as several other people and have also talked to Tremic. Operation Normal-
I've checked on other forum's and found the same complaint. Not sure on the 600, but definitely get some feedback on this. Just an FYI.
