If you want to verify if you have non-sync or all-sync at a glance....
1) All-sync trannies have a bolt in the side of the case on the left side of the gear box, non-syncs are smooth across the same area and do not.
2) Check the "H" patern, all-syncs have reverse to the right and down from 3rd/4th. Non-syncs have reverse to the left down of 1st/2nd.
