Tranny interchange

[treed2 at wsu.edu (T. Reed)]

Jon,

Have you tried Redline MTL for that syncro grind? You might be trading a
2nd gear grind for fluid leaks, but it would be cheaper than a tranny
replacement that might not even fix the problem.

Also have you changed your fluid, period? It's a lot more important whats
in there than you would think.. GL-5 will do you no good, synchro-wise.
