'82 Coupe questions...

[ejfluhr@ulc231.residence.gatech.edu]

Well, my father wanted me to ask you guys some questions, so...

First, his fuel pumps aren't lasting very long.  His original went 8
years, but he has replaced it three times since then (with Bosch
replacements).  The replacements seem to last about 2 years, on average.
Is this normal for replacements?  Could something be causing premature
failure?  He changes the fuel filter about every 50K or so.

Also, the synchros (1st & 2nd) in his tranny are quite dead.  Should he
replace the entire transmission with a rebuilt one?  Where could he get
a replacement, and about how much would it cost?  Would he be better off
having the existing unit rebuilt?  Basically, we need some ideas on where
to go.  This is the first car that he has owned that has outlasted its
transmission.  :)

Thanks a bunch,
Eric
