Does 10k miles count for an "extended period"?
That was my end result...

:eek: So yours grenaded at 10K miles, or you're still going at 10K?

Thanks!

EDIT: nevermind... found your post. Yikes! These things really DO need that DMF setup (or some aftermarket brass synchros), it seems. Thanks again!

Lost all three tabs off 2nd gear synchro and 2 of 3 on first great. Clutch was slipping at same time so had to go in there anyway. Went back to DMF and now have a turbo that doesn't produce peak torque so low to worry about DMF shudder. That's the best solution [emoji16]
