I am currently pulling my motor out of my spyder. My question is which transmission internals should I consider replacing while I have my powerplant removed? My only complaint about operation is the engagement of second gear under full acceleration. There is a considerable amount of resistance on the lever as I am trying to pull it down into gear. I suspect the 1-2 syncro and shift fork. My second question involves the lsd insert option. My research leads me to believe that this path will suffice as long as I avoid wheelhop and keep my bhp under 400. Are these components reliable as long as I adhere to the aforementioned parameters? I suppose a third option would be to replace my trans seals while im at it. Thanks in advance. :)
