Hey Syncro Dudes- I went to look at a syncro this weekend and I came away with 3 questions that I need help with. First-This van just had the gas tank replaced at a dealership and they removed the transmission. When I drove the van I could not get it to shift into extra low or second gear. My first impression was that it was a problem with the shift linkage but with the history on those transmissions I could not buy the van then without checking the list first. What do you folks think? Second- One of the square tubes that run parallel with the drive shaft(passenger side) was bent up about 1.5 inches. There was no other sign of off-road abuse. Could this be a problem? Third- The passenger side front tire was worn more than the rest of the tires. Could this be caused by the bent tube from above? How much of a problem is this? Any input any of you have on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Stephen Davis Hopeful owner of 87 Syncro
