If you decide to rebuild take it over to Jason @ TDP in Blue Mound. It is close to you. Or, PM me and I can give my personal mechanics info.

Again, welcome to the world of Vette... totally different car than what you are used to.

yeah i figured it probably was caused by previous owners racing and having a mis-shift but its drivable, my jeep is kinda like that and I put 8k on it so far and its not getting any worse. Ill just take it easy until i get it out and looked at.

the owner said he thought it was synchros but his trans mechanic said its something else thats easy to fix and should be cheap. ill find out exactly what his friend says it is and let you guys know to see if his story holds any water.

im definitely going to talk to century 21 and see what all is in the car.
