You would change your mind if you ever drove with me. Perhaps the synchro's are in such good shape because I often drive without using the clutch (maybe about 10% of the time).




Do you double clutch Jim? I do, hoping to squeeze ever mile I can out of the tranny.




No. The trans is solid. It shifts better now than when new. As long as I avoid wheel hop it seems to take whatever abuse I give it.
