check the connection between the harness and the wiper motor, chances are its falling apart like all of mine are. Just cut it out and solder hte wires, that *should* do it, if not, then lube all the pivot points on the assembly. If its still bad, then it might be the switch or the motor.

I usualy try not to dirve w/my wiper on, it is much more comfortable without them in my view. If you put some rain-x type stuff on your window you probably won't even need wipers for light-moderate rain, even in heavy rain I usaualy am ok.
But I would'nt suggest using a car w/no wipers at all!
As for the trans... what can I say. When they get old they wear out and can be a pain in the *** sometimes. My brother just changed his trans out cause it finaly died. He couldn't even get the thing into gear w/the clutch out. He had to pull with all his might to get it in 2nd then 4th so he could make it home! Got a nice replacement from the yard though!

Rain-X is a bitch to put on, but 6!!! years later, I still get minor benefit from the last time I put it on. I will definitely reapply it before next summer and the rainy season

if the syncros are shot you need th either get really good at double clutching or its time fro a rebuild. I would recomend drainging your fliud and replacing it with Redline Shock Proof Gear oil.... Seems to help alot with worn out trannys....

Hells ya... I kinda scared myself during the "First time"... took off from a stop sign, spinning, shifted into second, got a little sideways, all of a sudden, the back end came up to meet me, and I was facing the other direction, 6 inches away from a curb
