With ambient temperatures hitting the freezing mark lately, the synchros in Mirage #3 are REALLY becoming irritating. This trans is in the worst condition of any I've ever owned in about 35 crapbox manual cars.
After a cold start, 2nd gear is very difficult to get, even with double-clutching. 1st and 3rd are occasionally slightly problematic too.
I've tried triple & quadruple shifting, but by the time I've successfully shifted, the car is going too slow to use 2nd gear any more!
Because it's so temperature sensitive, I'm wishing I could get Redline Manual Trans Lube (MTL) here in Canada, but it's just not available. Need thinner oil. And a transmission heater.
That'll teach me for buying a car someone learned to (tried to) drive stick on!
