im looking at a 1990 gsx eagle talon.

"The only problem with the car is that it grinds going into 2nd at high rpm and sometimes it grinds going into 1st. Also the check engine light is on but when I scanned it all it said was “2.0 turbo federal” nothing else no code number at all so I have no idea what’s causing that."

can the trannsmision be fixed easily? if so how much would it cost? does it need a rebuild? Secondly what does that engine code mean?

the mods are "ACT 2600, b16g, turbo back exhaust 2.5” to 3” after flex, 4 bolt rear end, 2g piston 1g rod block, Kyb GR2 shocks with H&R springs, Autometer AF gauge greddy boost gauge and 255 fuel pump."

how much boost could you run with that setup? and could i launch the car (after i gett the tranny fixed) with that clutch and the 4 bolt rear?

thanks in advance

The transmission problem would be your sychronizers wearing out. You'll have to have the transmission rebuilt to fix the problem. There's no other way to get to them.

how much does that cost?

Another idea might be to ask the guy to do a fluid change with fresh BG Synchroshift to see if that doesn't help things out. If it quiets things down a bit, you might still consider buying the car and using the time you bought to save for a rebuild or find a "new" tranny online. I recently sold a FWD tranny for $200 in good condition. You could likely find a deal on a replacement tranny if you looked around.

Just throwing another idea out there.

PS - There is no Talon GSX. It's TSi AWD. Much classier, imo, but I'm a Talon owner, so...
