True, but then it will be in the car for another 4 years or so. Hopefully you will far outlive your BOT 270A!

I drained the gear box fluid and it had a nice sparkly glow to it when I shined the flash light on it. Since I had recently changed the gear box fluid, I decided it was better to order a used trans to replace this one. I got this car with a bad motor, so I guess it had a bad trans too. Anyways, I'll hopefully get the new transmission this week.

FYI, it happened when it was hot and cold. You could do a delay and shift, so I am pretty sure it ate a synchro.
