I wish I knew what was going on, I woulda stopped to help but I didn't wanna get caught for racing. Especially in the area we were.
Aahh, yes, the memories. I just broke that trans recently and it's sitting in my back yard. I stripped 3rd gear. I had to put a regular trans in to hold me off for the moment until that one is built up again. Right now my car feels slow with that trans. I don't have that pull off the line like I had before.

if it helps you guys, im using a 50/50 mix of pennzoil synchromesh and 10w-30 valvoline motor oil
I had that problem when I was trying to go into second gear. But I could get into the gear just fine from 3rd to 2nd but not from 1st to second. I changed the fluid and went with the normal fluid instead of mixing fluids and it worked out fine. I did see some metal flakes in the fluid. Just try regular old 10w30 full synthetic without syncromesh. I can't give you any promises that it will work better but it's a start.

BTW, how's the shifter cable, counter weight and all? There isn't anything loose, is there?
