double clutching is your friend. it makes downshifts so much easier. the gear that you'd notice it most is 2nd to 1st. normally you can go into first much above 15 mph but if you doulbe clutch you could get it into first at any speed.

that technique is for syncro-less trannies which is why it works well on ****ty-syncro trannies. and no... this isn't some fast and furious bull **** where they have no idea what they are talking about

these are both bad syncros

if the clutch isnt disengaging you will have problems shifting through every gear not just 1 or 2 out of 5

my last trans had no probllems at all as far as shifting and i havnt touched the clutch so i know its the trans

Well, look at this wailing wall of MANUAL trannyism - go auto. Trimmed.

our manual trannies aren't all that good but the autos are even worse...

Mine also doesn't like to go into second gear :-/

right now a smooth, easy shifting tranny is my idea of perfection

edit: It is also funny, Sometimes I swear my tranny shifts smoother when its cold than when its warm.
loosen the pivot point nut/bolt at the bottom of the shifter. also, move the ball down some.

fixed.

I got that with my old tranny, and I still have that with my new one, only when i shift too fast. And there is such a thing as shifting to fast.

what do you think this would this cost me if i wanted to get it fixed? of couse i wouldnt be pulling the tranny apart myself, but i could take it out and drop it off at a tranny shop.
any advice?
