I'm a dumbass when it comes to DSM's.

In another thread, someone stated that the '97 GST's were more prone to this. Could someone help me out with a definition for "Crank Walk".

Also I was looking at a (what else) '97 GST today & the tranny had a sync problem w/3rd. To down shift into 3rd from 4th He had to rev a little w/the clutch disengaged. Did I just happen upon a bad tranny ? or do '97 have some specific issues ?

TIA
