[QUOTE="Gavin Allan, post: 743455, member: 60736"] OUCH! That hurts thinking about it! I had a Ford EXP that went through four manual transmissions in the first 10,000 miles. What a junk transmission! No synchros on reverse--always got a nice loud grind when putting it into reverse. The thing looked like an aluminum beer can with a few pieces of steel gears inside it. I can imagine the strain of doing a reverse burnout on such a light-duty piece of crap with a heavy car like an Escort. Forward it wouldn't be so bad since there wasn't much traction or weight shift for more traction. Reverse would be a killer! [/QUOTE]
