Decided to pull the tranny and send it to Bill. 1st gear synch was out when I bought the car, but now 3rd is a bit rough to hit consistently. The transmission should be smoother shifting than it is. The car has a Fidanza FW in it. I've got the original dual mass on the shelf. I'll be pulling the bell housing and clutch to inspect anyway, so might refurb the dual mass and reinstall. Not worried about a few extra hp if I go back to OEM.
The C-Beam removal was a major PITA! The shifter, despite being in 3rd gear did not clear the center console tunnel opening well. Had to force it through, but made it. I'll leave the Allen bolt out on the shifter when I reinstall to give me more room to align it when I stab it back in.
So, will sit a bit, waiting for Bill to work his magic!
