Fellas, When I come to a stop and try to put it into first gear, it really has a hard time going in. I usually have to put it into 2nd, then into first. It usually takes a few tries. Any ideas what the problem is and how to fix it? Thanks! Craig |

Are you completely stopped when you try to engage it? Either way, there's a good chance your syncro is worn. |

There are several, I'm too lazy to search for them at the moment. Search "5 speed rebuild" . |

Good memories. I really miss Doc. Someone should attempt to track him down and see if we can drag him here...if he still has a metro. Might be too many Phoenix es es if he joined though. |
