Firstly, thanks for the head's up on Driven Concepts. I'm not too far from there, but I never knew the place existed. I'll have to stop by there soon.
There's nothing really wrong with the trans, I just want to experiment a bit with the fluid to see if it's possible to get 1st gear to engage more smoothly.
Occasionally I'll be completely stopped, I put the clutch to the floor, calmly shift into 1st, and it grinds!...it makes me curse loudly. I'd be much happier if it never happened, but maybe that's asking too much from the Subaru 5MT.
one quart of Synchomesh will fix this issue. that shockproof won't do squat.
