I understand this (and the previous post). The transmission was (and still
is) a big deal. The creak, is not, functionally, a huge thing - but it was
driving me nuts. If the car was in motion, the car was creaking, constantly,
all the time. In any case, they found and fixed the creak (a broken spot
weld). The brand new transmission has problems with the first gear syncro.
Being that the original transmission also had syncro problems, I wonder if
this is going to be something that shows up more often than not in the model
year?

That was the first thing they tested. They disconnected the shift linkage
from the transmission and retested it, and the problem still occurred.
