sounds like my synchros are goin in 3rd, i searched and found a 40 page thread about trannies, but no one answered my question already.. which is:

has anyone had theyre tranny replaced/not replaced under warranty with FI? i have a GReddy TT kit, JWT clutch & flywheel.. i really am hoping for some success stories here, haha... car is an '04 and has 34xxx miles on it thanks guys...

 

Find a really mod friendly dealer is all I can tell you... If you lived closer to Texas I could help ya out some...

 

t32gzz had his replaced under warranty with a TT kit

 

i did too. get to know the dealer and be friendly and youll be fine. im on my 3rd one now as of 2 weeks ago and they never give me any problems

 

I too had mine replaced after I installed my kit. I was nervous about it and they did bring up the fact that I had a turbo. But my rebuttal was that horsepower doesn't kill syncros and they were really cool about it after that.

 

I was having the same problems with my tranny before my motor blew. Back then, I'd talked to a dealer and found out they've repaired several transmissions with the same symptoms and parts. They said that it's probably just the syncros and shift fork that would need to be replaced not the whole transmission. He quoted me prices on just those parts at approx. $105 for the syncros and $103 for both 1-2 & 3-4 shift forks. The shift forks are to repair/resolve the shifter popping or trying to pop out of gear. Obviously a lot less than $1800 for the whole new transmission. If you can't get your dealer to cover it, then this might be a less expensive solution.

This might be the route I'll take since I probably won't get my dealer to warranty the problem, I'm nervous about them doing work around my TT kit and I'll be getting a new clutch at the same timie. Hope this helps.
