Don't power shift, it gives u minimal gains. and u will mess up your tranny.

Just shift quick and you'll be fine.

If it's a D series the synchros are shitty anyways.

and D syncs are cheap at $20 each, only need to replace 1 thru 3.

Most D crunches are caused by weak motor mounts anyways.

Where can you find D series Syncros for $20? Cheapest price I've found is 280 w/1st gear...

I did a groupbuy about 3+ years ago, wiped out 3-4 warehouses.

Aceomatic/Recon is who I get them through. You HAVE to be a tranny shop, or be friends with a owner that will order them for you. Last time I bought them, they were $14 each, I was selling them @ $20 each shipped.

Or $55 for 1st thru 3rd, $85 for the whole set, shipped.

Prices might have changed since through.
