Hi,

I was shopping for another 'b yesterday and I looked at a '67 that seemed to be 
in really nice shape.  The one issue was weak synchros--you have to double 
clutch, or shift slowly, otherwise the gears grind.  Can anyone shed some light 
on this issue for me, as I have little experience with transmissions?  Does a 
problem such as this usually require a new tranny, or is there sometimes an 
easier fix?  Is it a symptom of a larger problem?  Anything else I should check 
out related to that?

thanks,
