Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior synchros

Can anyone tell me what a synchros is and what it does? I have grinding when I shift from 3rd to 4th and someone said my synchros went bad? Does that mean I need a new tranny? I have a 2000 gts with 42,000 miles. Does powertrain cover this?

Look at this article :

Typical Powertrain warrenty from toyota is 5 year / 100,000 miles and does include the transmission, they might give you a hard time to be prepared for it ... I'm not 100% sure if it covers the syncros but it should

You have to take it in the toyota dealer to have your transmission syncros fixed ...


Good Luck

Oh cool, thanks for the info
