I ask because CarMax may be trying to screw me to the tune of $3000  and I need all the ammo I can get to tell them that the synchros in the pre-2000 tours are notoriously bad, proven (I hope) by the fact the Ford had to upgrade the tranny in 2000 to address the problem.
Anybody able to lend a little expert advice or their keen memory? 
$3000!!  I hope your are getting one badass tranny for that price. 
You could get the Full "Bull-Dog" tranny for less than that
Is this a HMS thranny? 
Yes.

I actually don't know the exact quote. I thought they said $3000 but whatever it is it also covers replacing the waterpump and water leak through the driver's side door.

Why do people put that load of BS at the beginning of every post where the information has been previously posted ad nauseam...
YES the MTX-75 was "REVISED" in the 2000 model year.
Syncros, syncro shafts, gears, 3-4 shifter fork, etc...
Thanks for the info.
By the way, I just ran a search in the transaxle forum for...
"mtx-75 2000"
"mtx 75 upgrade"
"mtx 75 revised"
"tranny 2000 upgrade"
"tranny upgrade"
"synchro upgrade"
"synchro revised"
... and did not get any relevant results. That's what I mean when I say "I just ran a search but was unable to find anything on whether Ford ever upgraded the transmission in the MTX-75."
