Ok just bought an 02 with 88k with the manual transmission. It shifts great, but it makes a bit of noise, especially in third and fourth. Not a whine per say, kind of like noise Ive heard in trucks when in 4x4 but it happens in 2wd. Had a knowledgable friend drive it and he said it seems fine, perhaps the nature of the beast.
Anyone have any experience with the manual trans? Ive been searching but everything seems to reference the auto. I want to change the fluid, perhaps to synthetic. Also figured I should try a diff service. Could take it to the transmission shop but it seems like they always just say its toast. Is the manual do-able to drain and fill yourself? Thanks in advance for any help!!
