I dunno about the NV3500, but my Dad's Stratus five-speed is fully
synchronized, first, reverse and all. First should be anyway, reverse
sometimes isn't. I've never had trouble getting the Strat into the "go
gears", and I think Dodge would follow a trend with all of their trannies,
since they're all made by New Venture (Dad's is an NV-T350).
If I'm not mistaken, someone's writing you a bill of goods..
Someone, please, correct me if I'm wrong about the syncro thing :-)
Later,
Jon
