    Problems-simple question...

    I seem to own the only 4 speed manual equipped E30 on earth and not only that,but my 3rd gear when used it makes an loud awfull metallic crunch,especially at high RPMs!
    It must be the synchro,right?!? :roll:
    Does it have anything to do with the transmission fluid ?
    (even though i guess not,cos 3rd is the only gear that s hard to use)
    Is it expensive to fix? Can i mess with the gear ratio while having it fixed?
    The gear ratios are tall tall tall!
    2nd tops at 62mph,3rd at 90mph and 4th at about 120mph (!)

      You think that the cost of fixing the synchro justifies a gearbox change?
      Hm,maybe not,but then again the car really needs that 5th gear... :?
