no bolt on trannys i believe youd have to build one yourself it sounds like your tranny is on the way out tho. Those "flushes" are never good for your car ive heard tons of bad things about flushes in trannys and engines both. Where did u take it are you sure they used syncromesh? i would drain it and do it yourself and use the correct fluid and see if it happends

I used B & M trick shift full synthetic, my 5sp shifts much much better than with the GM syncromesh stuff. Read it on this site. Good stuff. Never flush anything except coolant, drain & re-fill like above states. Also, if you have the crappy Dex-cool orange/pink stuff drain/flush and refill with normal green coolant. I got burned on my wife's blazer with that crap. After it gets over 2-3 years old it forms Jello in your system. Clogged the blazer's heater core & lower radiator. Had to get them "hot water power flushed" to get that crap out. Friend works at a radiator shop, said it happens all the time. When he flushed it out, i just could not believe what came out. Never had that problem with Presone green...etc

Only Prob i've ever had with mine is a slight thud/bump when going from park to drive, though i've got a 4 speed auto. People tell me it's an economy car not a lexus or a bmw haha though i still don't think that slight pause/thud/bump is normal my car seems to have a variety of issues maybe it's posessed LOL j/k
