id like to know what the problems with the transmission are...
the only thing i know of is a tsb on the earlier ones for a syncro or something
other then that, the transmissions are quite strong

the only thing that is really different driving an awd car is the launch

no most people have problems with the clutch burning up but sometimes the syncros can f up just take your time shifting not slow but relax dont just jam it into gear

Some transmissions did have issues with the synchros earlier but for the most part they can handle a great amount of power before having to worry.

Nope you can drive it like you stole it however launching the car is completly different. You can't drop the clutch in this car, that would be bad.

You have to slip the clutch in order to get this car out of the hole.

Thanks
