thanks for the input, I don't know if its the synchros because its just as hard to shift when the tranny isn't spinning, and as my understanding of them goes, they just matches the speeds, so if its hard to shift at a stop I wouldn't think that it is that.
hey all, I have a 72 240z with a five speed from a 280. It had a short shifter on it. Which sounds like it is cool, but It is SO hard to shift. I feel like it has gotten to the point where the shifter is slowing me down. I was wondering if the reason it is so hard to shift is that there is something wrong with my tranny, or if its just because of the lack of torque due to the short shifter. any input would be appreciated
