[s-cars] 92 UrS4 Transmission/clutch question

[Ken Chang]

Fred you could have a syncro mesh problem... I test drove a 1990 GT5000 all
wheel drive with the same problem.  The owner attributed it to the syncro and i
think he was pretty dead on.  It's not a cheap fix... Somewhere around $1500
for the GT and who knows how much for your Ur!
