By the way, did you know that Porsche invented the modern cone-style gear synchronizer? It was introduced in the 1952 356.

Share that with the wife tonight over dinner and impress her.

Seeing as how we're sidetracked anyway, mine grinds going into 5th most of the time when I shift without the clutch. But now I just use the clutch when going into 5th.

How does one go about checking the motor mount? What do you look for?
