Yeah, i was taught that because of teh extra strain on the synchros, theyd start to foul out after a period of time. If not then damn, i'm glad to be wrong, I thought I was looking at a new tranny or a rebuild for this one in the near future

Well, asap. My next day off is thursday, but I doubt I'll have the parts then. Beyond that its just as long as I'm not at work or in school I'm game. I think I'll have next tuesday and thursay off (still have school though), other than that its evenings, really. I get off work anywhere between 6 and 8.

I will have the axles coming soon, theyll be shipped tomorrow, but they arent far away, should only take a few days to get them here, and The clutch kit I'll buy soon as I figure out when I can get this done.

Also, have any of you used the CarQuest clutch kit before? Is it any good? Should I go elsewhere? I'm looking for something stock for now. I don't want to upgrade much till I do a B swap.
