Well, today my 86 Syncro missplaced its forth gear while traveling home from
work. I was going about 65, when I lost the gear, with an almost Poping/woosh
sort of sound, and without any nasty metal noises. I pulled over and realized
I still had first, second and third, so I limped home, maxing third at about
50 MPH.
So, anyone have similar senerios with gears vanishing? How do Syncro trannys
usually die? Anyone care to guess what happened? (Todd Hill-you seem versed in
the inner workings of transmissions, any clue?) Anyone selling a tranny?
Thanks,
Raul Cisneros
