50 to 100 bucks for a new tranny? I alwasy thought they were more than that.

But he is right about the EX tranny. the gear are a little bit shorter to give you a little better acc.

yeah, thats your 2nd gear synchro. if it was a b series, id say to replace the synchro with something better but, since its a d, buy another tranny.
