I'm going to have to open the trans in the spring to replace 1-2 and 2-3 sycros so I started thinking....what can I do to make some improvments.
Anybody have any experience with double syncros or replacing first gear with a taller ratio. I figure the double sycros would be a good upgrade but I don't know if I have the power to utilize a taller first gear. -------------------- 92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD "The Black Golfball" How fast can a 14B go???

Double synchros are not a must but very nice. They come standard on the 1993 and newer DSM's.
The taller GVR4 first dear netted me an extra 5mph and felt good while it lasted. I blew that gear apart after about 75 drag launches. Once I switched back, I really didn't even miss the extra split second for shifting to second, so I wouldn't spend my money on that mod again.
