More than likely it's the synchros....

 

yea thats what i thought now there saying tthey got to drop the trans look at it and then come up wit a solition and i aint gonna have the car back till next week some time thats gonna be 3weeks total thats rediculious and they dont give a loner

 

Dealerships should give you a loner, just go somewhere that does give out a loner. The trans will come down and they tear into it, sux cause it's a time consuming job, especially since it's a front drive car and the sline axles need to come off in order to pull the tranny. If you and buddy do it, it would only take 2 days, you could maybe have your car back in a week, and less money spent.

 

its not THAT time consuming. mechanics put a jack under the tranny, unbolt it and lower it down. it gets to a certain point and POP the axels pop out. Depending on the vehicle ofcourse. that was for a front wheel drive van.

 

yea but the car is under warrenty and they claim they will start in the am and have it out and inspected by 2 or 3oclock i hope it dont take to long.

 

Well, if it's under warranty then let them deal with it.
