Message	The gears in the z32 tranny are strong, it's the synchros that fail and wear, causing grinding. As far as I know, the only choices we have for synchros are oem parts. It would be nice to see someone retrofit well known bulletproof manual tranny to the z, be it domestic or not. Alex bork bork bork!
