I really want to do this myself to save money. Is it possible, where would I buy new synchros? 99 CSVT**TRADED IN** 98 CSVT SHO Y-pipe Magnaflow Exhaust highflow cat KKM intake Rousch springs ST200 Struts 19" Axis Sevens 2004 Blue Chevy Cavalier Groundcontrol coilovers *debadged

I really want to do this myself to save money. 3. where would I buy new synchros? 1. Of course you can. It just requires a little powertrain R&R and then disassembling the MTX-75 2. You will need a pretty fair selection of tools (and not just common hand tools), the factory service CD's, and at the minimum an empty garage bay. 3. OEM parts. Call Bill Jenkins for a fair price on the parts. You might as well get the revised shifter forks ($50) too Also no better time to install an LSD to replace the hardened glass differential... 2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor! It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.

I guess that means it isn't really short or hard to get in gear, only "like" it. The valley girl generation grows up.

Id like to do a quaife and better synchros etc.. i just dont want to spend the extra moola. Last edited by cheps1svt; 12/04/03 03:31 AM.
