So, Driving today something felt weird as i shifted into 3rd gear, no real feel of engagement but it did engage, Down to 4th, it was really tough to shift. It was even more difficult to shift out of 4th. But no real noticeable change shifting into 5th or between 1 - 2. I see that the 3-4th gear share a common shaft and syncros. I also did a shift test with the transfer case in neutral, everything shifted pretty smoothly, more of the reason to think synchronizers.
Does this weird behavior sound like shot syncors? The trans has 120k miles on it.
Next Question- Rebuilds, Rebuilds Kits. Looks like a pretty well documented and easy rebuild, anyone done it? Tips? What parts should i use? There are a couple different flebay rebuild kits, any trouble with cheapo bearings? There seems to be a ~$150 kit and a ~230 kit. Any advise?
While i have it all down i might as well put a clutch in it. I made the mistake of buying advance auto cheapo clutch once upon a time, not going to make that mistake again, thinking Centerforce. Any Advise?
