Cannot find synchros anywhere - help appreciated
Posted: February 7th, 2008, 8:35 am
Hi,
It's been few months ago when gears started grinding on my '95 Precidia RS. Tranny fluid change, new clutch disk, new release bearing - all done (was needed anyway), but I'm still struggling to make it engage the gears properly. 1st and 2nd are the worst (understandable), but the rest needs more force than I'm used to... which is sad - the gearbox was like butter when I bought my ride a year ago, so smooth.
Car mechanic took the tranny apart and told me that I need new synchros, definitely for 1st and 2nd gears, but the problem is that I cannot find any item like that in any online store. With my almost zero technical knowledge, "synchronizer" may be listed under a different term, but I'm not sure. Otherwise, if anyone of you had to order new synchros, please advise where I can find it (online store). I'd really love to have that smooth shifting experience back!
Many thanks!
