hey guys, got a few questions but first.......... i'm new to the site, BUT not new to the azteca guys in redmond, or those kick-ass fun runs!! i've been on i think 3 of'em. 2 with another guy (remember the guy with the billet grille on the front?), and one in my first s2k. i had a red one i was leasing about 2 years ago i think. got rid of it, the car wasn't in all great of shape, and it was broken into. they cut the top, stole my seats, gauge cluster shift knob on top of alot of heartache with the car. got rid of it had a couple of cars after and like jerry said to me " ya' got sucked back in". i'm glad, it's a great car, except for a couple of problems. and it's a kick-in-the-ass to drive.

anyways, it's a light silver 2k3. this one i'm pretty sure it was wrecked. little bit of overspray, some minor parts don't line-up either. and working at a car dealer, ya' kinda' notice things on cars. okay i felt grinding into 2nd and more into 3rd. couple of guys at the shop drove it, said it was normal grinding.....**"normal to you guys or what??"**..... another guy said it was the 2nd and 3rd syncros in the trans. i saw the clutch, and the guys in the shop said the clutch was probably roasted from the previous owner. one of the techs said the clutch is the problem. honestly i don't believe him. if it was the clutch wouldn't it being doing that in all gears and not just 2nd,3rd??........ i was hoping to get it all fixed, cuz' my warranty ends in less than a hundred miles..................

gimme' some feedback, and i'll try to get out to redmond for tacos....... if there's any meets around the southend like burien/des moines/fed way, that would be awesome too............. see ya' soon guys.

 

roasted clutch doesn't cause grinding gears ........
