Real trucks don’t shift themselves.
I’m not complaining. I enjoy having a manual transmission. Odometer reads 399,7++ miles and still going up everyday. Good service life if you ask me. Next one should last even longer now with me taking care of it and performing routine maintenance. When I changed oil in it initially, it already had brass from the synchros and was dark - likely had been overlooked by the previous owner most of its life.
I’ve heard this too. I always used the clutch in my pickup, until I couldn’t. I think what did the synchros in was a couple years ago the hydraulic slave cylinder failed on me while away from home, and I had to force it into gear a couple times at a couple intersections in the city. After that it never shifted the same, even after swapping oil. It never did shift “great” after I bought it, but I certainly didn’t help things that day. I’ve had to put 3 different sets of clutch hydraulics on it since then - they seem to be a weak point.I've been told by a few different people that build transmissions, that shifting a syno trans, without using the clutch, is hard on the synos, even if you don't grind gears while shifting sans the clutch.

I just bought a South Bend hydro set with upgraded braided SS line, fully filled and bench bled. I’m done with the cheap ones too. If this one fails, I’ll give OEM a try.All of my trucks have been sticks, I've had a bunch of them, I've only ever had one hydro slave fail.
Put a carquest slave system in it, it lasted two weeks, pissed all the fluid out, got a new one under warranty, it lasted a month, pissed itself, got my money back, bought a OEM mopar one, it's still in the truck going strong 4 years later.
Some stuff I only buy OEM.

I hope it lives up to its expectations - it cost about 3x’s as much as a parts store replacement. It’s all going to be new once I swap this transmission: Flywheel, Clutch, Hydraulic’s, Transmission, and even a new Fluidampr Harmonic Balancer. Oh, and a new rear main seal and oil pan gasket too.South bend ones are supposed to be good I've heard. I've never had one thou.
I just know to stay away from the parts store ones.
Did you post this in the Daycare thread?More junk.... anyone want a blower or trimmer, holler at me, only one reason I bid on this pile.

The kids always seem to be on the hunt for more lawn equipment
But just think about how warm and fuzzy it would make you feel if you could help them further their careers so they can help take care of their daddy, @dall in his old ageI'm not sure about posting in that thread anymore.
It just doesn't feel right, picking on kids.

lol we know you care lolThinking requires effort, I can't go around doing that.
Having feelings, would mean I cared.
I don't see either happening anytime soon. Certainly not next week.
