Hello rrengineer.mike,
I was with Paul when we did a test on a guys (then recent) install.
The grinding was pronounced and obvious. Paul rebuilt the tranny and
it still did it. That's when he mic-ed all the syncros. The new ones
he was then being supplied with were all out of spec. After that he
ordered a bunch and mic-ed every one, throwing away the bad ones. I
saw the pile. If he sent you some, they ARE good. What you would now
buy would almost certainly be worse than what he sent, as they are
being made out of spec.
