Im asking about the performance stuff because I just had my tarnny inspected... and the gear roll over noise was not ok.

I just did my tranny a month ago, but that sound at idle was getting worse and worse so I caved in and brought it to a pro. He looked over everything, my intsall was done properly, and couldnt see anythign wrong with it. He asked if it would be ok to take the tranny apart, I said well its out now so lets do it. He found 4 bearings (not sure which ones) that were worn down. He told me he didnt think this would cause it and everything else was fine so he said we should probably replace the bearings and go from there....

I picked up the car last night, no more noise but it was at quite a cost. $30 for each bearing....4 of them....new fluid....then R&R for labour, but Im happy, the car 'locks' into gear so much better now, its amazing the difference these bearings made. I should have taken pics of the bearings and how they were wearing....this was a new guy that ive never gone to, but he was awsome. He called me to come see them, something not to many shops will do. Went to the shop....my whole tranny was in peices on the bench. Even the bearings were apart and he was showing me where along the bearing ring it was going up and down...so theyre was some 'play' in the actual bearing. Then he was showing me the actual 'ball' of teh bearing and showing me the tiny little pits in them causing the play and uneven wear.....

i was really impressed by his thourouness (sp)
