Well, I got my car back today with new synchro's and a new clutch. (Pre-Post about what was wrong) https://celicahobby.com/ubbthreads/thread.f_1870245472_0_collapsed_5__1.html The clutch feels really soft, and the gearbox feels like butter now. I also got some new tires installed, the Yokohama AVS ES100's, so now I have a full set. What was cool is that warranty covered a $4000 job and I paid $383 for a new clutch. I bought my car used so I never got to test out a brand new clutch. It feels pretty sweet. But yeah I'm pretty happy about how it turned out.

Can you describe the noises the tranny makes when the synchro's are going bad?
Everything seems to work ok with mine, but lately the gear box seems really loud and what I can only describe as mechanical sounding. Like I can really hear all the gears meshing and groaning.

I have a video that Clos sent to me and it sounds exactly like that. I would post it here but I don't know how

Good to hear had a friend who did the same thing. Shifter just dropped. Covered under warranty. Drive careful now.
