Possible the syncro, but likely the 3/4 slider hub has cracked and messing
up the 3rd shifting....Needs a rebuild..not much else you can do other than
dive into it and rebuild. These days the tranny gets tired in many ways
internally and there is no inexpensive way to get around it...Basic Rebuild
is $1795. Holler if I can help.

Hi,
I have an 89 Westy Syncro with the 4 speeds transmission. It's crunching
going up and going down to 3rd gear.  Do I need a new 3rd gear?
Best regards.
