Default yay i love long trips....

On my way down to santa barbra from sacramento, my clutch in my prelude is suddenly being extremly retarded and it's grinding when i shift.

Well I am happy that (as i thought) I could make it to santa barbra without shifting. Well I hit heavy traffic about an hour out and I had to get off the freeway (on the shoulder) and I found a clutch shop. Well I dropped it off and they replaced the clutch and some other crap and i was finally able to leave monday morning (the shop was closed on the weekend, i left it there).

Well driving the car with a new clutch is sweet. so smooth and such. Well i get home and i am going through the neighborhood. I shift into second, I feel and hear a slight grinding. Is this because my syncros are going out? Is the tranny fluid low? I checked the clutch fluid and it seemed fine. I'm kind of pissed becuase now the tranny has to be taken out AGAIN....

with gm sycromesh fix this, or am i **** out of luck?

it could be more clutch probs, or it could be a syncro.....try some syncromesh and see what happens, since that's the cheaper choice of the two.

yeah, but it's worth it if you don't have to get syncros right away!
