I have renewed with the correct fluid for the third time now with several hundred miles to no avail. Any other flushes recommended or do I have the tranny rebuilt? Another question is can the tranny be taken out without the engine being removed??? I believe the synchros being brass have absorbed the slick stuff to disallow them stopping very fast. Hoping for some wise advise as you all have come thru for me in the past very nicely. Thanking in advance. <a href="mailto:rtscolgan@yahoo.com" target="_blank">rtscolgan@yahoo.com</a><u></u><u></u></span></p></div></div></div></div>_______________________________________________<br>
