 This is my Parts Syncro, not my driver. This Van has lost
it's home, and has no where to live. So I am pricing parts
in order make it road worthy again. Once on the road, it can
stay at my home without the code enfocrcement officer on my
back.
   At any rate.... the guy I got this one off of, broke
the shifter off, after he  blow a hole in the side of the
trans. case, trying to get it in gear. He did that by trying
to jump start the Van in reverse.
   Only 1 minute of my time and I found the ignition switch
was bad, but by that time he had destroyed the Van.

   So does anyone know if there is a difference in Syncro 5 speed
shifters and regular 4 spd. shifters? I'm speaking of the
axual lever the sticks thru the floor.

    The bottom line is, if I can buy another syncro for less
than it will cost in parts to fix, then It will not get fixed
and will end up rusting away.
