Hi guys, just doing some thinking on manual transmissions in general. Does a notchy shifting manual Trans mean it's wearing more quickly than a smooth shifting Trans?
This isn't an uncommon complaint. From BMW, miatas (my ranger) and a handful 9f others.
I'm sure a lot of guys wouldn't be as bothered by a bit of not chiness if it wasn't a sign of either a self destruction transmission or that a better fluid could be used.
I ended up going straight to the dealer and buying motorcraft mercon v for the ranger....reading online....this transmission can be sticky no matter what you pour in...and they seem to hold up.
I get the feeling certain synchro designs and gear cuts can have a big impact on this.
Thoughts?
