| its the fact that gm put horrible parts into our cars and won't confess to it. i know how to drive a standard. my work truck is a bloody 5 spd split with air brakes. so its not that i can't drive a stick. its the fact that they give you 205hp stock and then they give you a tranny that needs to be treated like a 1 month old baby. |

| there good cars but gm fucked up on a couple components, the only reason why his 1st tranny went was cuz i think his car was built on a friday, the axle was machined wrong, so it caused it to jam in the tranny, so they replaced it, now they put a new tranny in and it grinds 3rd gear since 2nd day of having it in, but the good news, his car should run about 240 hp to 250 after i get some more parts installed on his car and tuned properly good old hptuners |

| If you don't want similar issues with the truck, try finding a bigger rear than 6". And no timex rears, if you can help it. A 383 will torque those little gears to pieces. |

I'm going to put my flame suit on here first, before I answer your question...
Okay. I think that when we are speaking about destroying synchros on a newer car, we can generalize that there has been some poor driving techniques.
As much fun as it is to rag on GM, and their shitty repairs, I'd bet a bunch to say that he looooved to powershift his new super-fast car.
Also, what the hell is a split 5-speed? |

Some heavy trucks have gear splitters (kind of like an overdrive unit, but manualy shifted). |

i've never power shifted in my car. lol
i power shift in my rig though. and yeah its mainly saying that i have a 10spd tranny. 5spd split=10spd. lol |

It's called a 10 speed. You have a range selector, if you had a splitter as well, it would be called a 13-speed or an 18-speed, or sometimes 9 or 15, but those trannys are getting rare.
And if it is a 10 speed in an International it doesn't have synchros, which would make powershifting a little hard, seeing as you can't rev-match with your foot to the floor.
Or your on truckersreport.com complaining about how your transmission is fucked and your u-joints only last 100,000 km :lol: |
