This is a crappy question, everybody knows that ALL nissan transmission's have ****ty synchro's. The CA seemed to be a bit better than my old KA transmission, but it still dosn't like to shift hard from 8500rpm's and up.

I think I'm gonna try to find either an S14SR transmission or somthing out of an RB in the next few months to upgrade mine too.

rebuilding transmission's is extremely expensive. Almost prohibitively so, better just to buy a new transmission.
