i noticed on my way to work that my car grinds in third no matter slow or fast i put it in gear. it does that until she gets warm, then it's fine... is it my synchros? my tranny is full, and i serviced it like 5k ago, what is it? :damnit:

the good news is i found a used tremec t5 w/ 32k on it for only 250$ gaurenteed to work... good deal, if so, is it true that if he didn't mark the position of the clutch that i could possibly fu#$ it up putting it in a position where it would break in inproperly?

sorry for all the q's, but any answers are greatly appreciated...
 
If you have an adjustable cable or firewall adjuster I would try tightening the cable up a bit, also might check the tranny fluid level. For that price though, I would pick the Tremec up as a backup, never know when you might need another tranny, plus I don't know exact #'s but I know it can handle more power than a BW T-5.
 
that tranny seems like a good deal, but i'm always weary about buying used things, but it's gonna save you a grand lol does it come w/ a bellhousing, or can you reuse a stock belhousing w/ it??
