Subject:      Transmission questions, '87 Syncro (Todd Hill?)
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"


I'm getting ready to attempt a partial (I hope) rebuild on my Syncro
transmission, have what parts I am sure that I need so far. The 3rd-4th
shift hub I got looks identical to the original (except not broken!). Did I
not get the stronger one, or how do I tell what I have? Is there a different
part #? Also, what am I looking for in the 'stretched' 1st-2nd pin? Or is
that something already upgraded in '87? Any other things recommended to
replace while I'm in there? I have a new pinion bearing, and ring-carrier
bearings if I need those (maybe a good idea anyway at 262K kilometers?).
Plan to replace all syncronizer rings too. Any help or advice is greatly
appreciated!

run!))
