how hard is it 2 change the syncro in the gearbox !?!
anything 2 be aware off ??

the tranny(and rest off the car) has done 162000 miles .. so i think it is about time the shifting are not what it use 2

 

Yeah, could anyone help us out. I would like to know as well. I have only been as far as a clutch and rear main seal install in a transmission and would like to know the ups and downs of changing the syncros.

 

I wouldn't do it without a factory service manual.

 

It can be done by a home mechanic but you must have the Helms manual and you will need a decent hydraulic press to get some of the gears off. You could also take it appart, take the main shaft assembly to a shop and have them change the synchros and then re-assemble the tranny your self, saving all the labor charges which is what makes it so expensive in the first place. This is what i would do (and probably will at some point if I don't learn to shift a little gentler)

no press needed, just a tiny hammer and a workmate.

Original poster, why do you think you synchros are bad? What gears are giving you issues? Most likely a shifter fork.
