my 901 grinds bad going into 2nd gear while driving. Goes in fine if stopped. Is this for sure the synchros, or could it be an adjustment of some kind?

I gave you options.
Full monty is all new parts. A 35 year old mid engine tranny...not a chevy tranny. How many mid engine trannies do you know? not to many right... The thrust of a mid engine tranny puts pressure on parts that were not setup for lots of miles and being pushed to hard. Bearings are the main issue. They die eventually. You can do what we all do...collect trannies..learn how to strip them and scavange parts. The 2nd-5th gear sliders and dogteeth are the same... 5th typically does not get worn out 2nd always gets worn out.. So collect..dismantle, learn, and rebuild. Or start writing checks. Rich |
