[urq] Bad synchro ?

[Louis-Alain Richard]

Brandon, do you have any idea why a 4th gear synchro would go bad ? 

Usually, it's the 2nd gear synchro that wears fastest... except on the Saabs
where it's the reverse gear (because you must engage reverse to remove the
ignition key).

Yeah you know these old cars require you to pull some things to get to
others....

Yeah I've been driving with a bad 4th gear synchro for the last year after
swapping in TWO bad used transmissions last summer - so I'm getting one
rebuilt - all new bearings, new synchros, seals, cryo the gears....figured
"while I was in there" I'd address the squeaky suspension, replace the rear
diff mount and seals, upgrade the brakes, add a rear sway bar....you know -
just the usual stuff....
