jack & fot. there is a simple way to fix the synchro ring problem. a synchro
becomes less effective as the
ridges inside the ring wear down. since the synchro ring operates as a brake -
it's purpose is to slow the
speed of the gear so it will mesh easily with teh next gear - you only have to
get down tothe ridge area that
is not worn. just throw the synchros on a surace grinder and tin the ring on
the large face. this effectively
buries the ring deeper onto the gear and gets into teh fresh are of the
synchro. we ahve done this for years
as a means of saving synchros. ted
