99 2.5 Lima, 5 speed (assume its an m50d), 235k...due to lack of time and poor planning lol, had trans shop replace clutch at 205k...they mentioned a "slight drag" going into 4th, citing possible synchro wear. It has become increasingly difficult to shift into 2nd and 4th now. Bought it with 46k and its been great, as I drive it 200 miles a day....its always been easy to grind a little going into 3rd...I change the fluid every 15-20 k with castrol dex-merc....I have notice every once in a while that the clutch pedal release/pedal height/ free play is off ...BLEEDING SLAVE WORTH A TRY???... I've been looking at used tranny's just in case but figure I must find one from a 2.3/2.5 (thanks captain ledd, sounds like a 23k tranny from an 08' 3.0 wouldn't bolt in). Been a bad member for not sharing my knowledge and trials due to family and 60 hour weeks, please forgive. lol...any advice is welcome !
