If you suspect that the synchro has gone bad maybe you want to check the trans fluid for gold metal shavings. If the syncho will leave some metal behind if its bad so you should be able to see this in the trans fluid.

If you don't LOVE mechanical nightmared, don't attempt to fix the tranny urself...get a used one with a warranty

WIAT! Before you do anything like ripping out the tranny etc. do what I did.... I waqs grinding from 3rd to 4th bad. I bought BG syncroshift and changed the fluid in the tranny. I took it for a drive right after putting it in and the grinding was still there.....let the car sit over night and drove it the next day and i can't get the thing to grind if my life depended on it... try that first.. it will cost yoou about $34.... good luck
