[s-cars] 5 Speed Wooooooooos

[Mark Strangways]

I now have some bad transmission problems, I missed a WOT shift from 1st to 2nd.
Things are not good,1st and 2nd are very hard to shift into and the shifter does not go into neutral right. The shifter will hang over to the left in the first to second gate, not over in third.

Is there any BTDT on this problem, any reports on failed transmissions out here would be very helpful at this point. Seems the tranny will be coming out, and getting opened. This is a 92 5 speed, non wide etc.

I have not had any noise in first to indicate galling of the first gear, as I have never really hammered it in first since I heard of this weakness. Are there any parts out here for repairing this (whatever it turns out to be), possibly from some of the swapped out to 6 speed units ?

What is the current 6 speed of choice ? and what dollar amount are we looking at.

Thanks o' great S-List...
