<DIV></DIV>My 84 has trouble shifting into 3rd on occasion-likes to grind in for a
<DIV></DIV>half a second (shifting at a low idle drive will
<DIV></DIV>relieve this sympton most of the time). I am now in the habit of
<DIV></DIV>skipping over 3rd and right into 4th .
<DIV></DIV>&nbsp;&nbsp;I was told that 3 out of 4 dentists recommended syncros for their
<DIV></DIV>patients
<DIV></DIV>who chew transmissions. Is this most likely?
