HI Everyone..
I have a 89 900 turbo vert 5 spd. Car has about 90k miles. Bought from the nephew of original owner. But bad news , trans was done twice ( guessing the owners could not drive stick well) . I went to check it the trans dip stick was not there, looks like a later trans was added.
Overall the car has slight rust on the bottom of doors. that is for rust. rest of the car has some door dings , surface scratches etc...
i put in a radio , had the master and slave replaced. and a tune up . Car run well pulls nice and hold boost right at the end of the yellow... Cruise works ! trip od does not,
So back to my issue, sahifting into second is a bear... I do not tear off the line, slowly shift from first to second... at about 1800 to 2k on the rpms... and I typically do not have a problem. I am noticing the weather getting colder and shift into second is getting harder. I never dream of down shifting into second.
What do i do ? the car overall is a strong and nice user grade condition.. i just like driving it on weekends ....
Any advice what to do ? Should I be looking for a complete unit to swap out ? I am in Northern NJ and any suggestions are welcomed.
Thanks
Bill Sohne
