A search for "3rd grind" will tell you that you need to have the transmission removed and the 3rd gear synchro replaced - this is neither a cheap, nor easy "driveway" fix. Sorry bud.

For the cost of getting this work done, by someone local or even by Terry is roughly 2/3 of the cost of a new MTX-75 via BAT Inc. Something to consider ... not to mention that you could sell this as a "core" for someone else to rebuild and recoupe some of your cost or put that money towards getting a Torsen installed as well.

First of all, Welcome to CEG. In my opinion, this is one of the best car forums to be a member of. Stick around and you will learn a ton about your car! Stazi is right though. Not an easy job. Doing mine in the next week. Anyways, have you ever done anything like pulling a trans before???

This car is a bigger PITA to pull a trans than well another other type of car I've worked on.

YAY!! Spend 1/3 MORE for a new one and STILL have a STOCK, WEAK, BUSTED POS Differential and synchros.. cool!
Have Terry do it, and spend the same 1/3 more to get it beefed up, and be able to WITHSTAND the driving, lest you want to do this all over again in a while.
