The thing is that the vin number on the tranny does not match the engine or the chassis. So my guess would be that the tranny has been changed already. The owner who was selling it drove the car and I was in the passenger seat, he had absolutely no grinds and the clutch was grabbing good. So maybe it's just me? I haven't driven stick for 3 years now, need to practice again. It grinds on highway mostly, I thought that I wasn't getting into third perfectly - in between the 3rd and 5th. Sometimes I shift from 2nd to 5th unintentionaly. So any input on that?
