once the syncro is bad the only way to stop it from grinding

Yeah, but you have to beat the **** out of the tranny for a long time to get it to that point. I should know, Ive broken two trannies. You just have to shift slower when it gets really bad. And yes, you can drive a bad synchro hard without grinding. Its called rev matching. You have to shift slower, but it doesnt mean cant beat on the car. Just cant slam the gears like you were before(which is the whole reason the synchros went bad anyways).

I got my car with the 2nd gear grinding now and then, its been like that

ever since, same clutch and everything all these years later.



if you buy the car and its fucked then its too late, he just got the

car a few months ago, I dont know if even he could **** it up that

fast?



shifting slow and rev matching is not my idea of driving a car hard, I call

that going easy on the car.
