Just a quick question. How loud is your transmission if you shift through the gears while sitting parked with the engine off? I'm talking with the windows down or door open? Can you hear it mesh pretty well or is it relatively quiet??

It is also makes a strange noise at times. I don't know how to explain the noise. It is like a growl. It is like I can here the gears in the trans spinning. I can't hear it all the time. I notice the sound more often since I installed my short throw shifter. I don't think the shifter has anything to do with it. I could here these sounds when I had my console apart around the shifter. I think the sound travels through my new shifter so I here it more now. Did anyone have these sounds in there trans before the TSB and if so did the TSB fix it? Would a firewall adjuster and new quandrant for the clutch cable fix it or help?
Thanks,

I want to know if any one has tried bg syncroshift gear oil. I had a DSM about 4 yrs back, eclipse talon, 90-94, anyways its commonly known to dsm owners that bg syncroshift would drastically improve shift quality. My car was grinding second, after install of bg syncroshift it shifted much smoother. Its as close to a rebuild in a can as you can get. Has any one tried this gear oil? I know they have bg syncroshift II out now. Just my .02 cents.

My whole theory is that the 2nd/3rd gear cluster is too heavy and the small syncro cannot speed it up fast enough before the gears have to mesh. If you look at the parts in the service kit the new 2nd/3rd gear is actually thinner from what my dealer told me. They removed some mass and that allows it to spin up, match the mating gear, and mesh smoothly.
