Yes excuse my typo, most are bronze. To replace the 3rd synchro you will need to remove the clutch gear and press the rear bearing off the main shaft to get the gear cluster out of the case. The hub will need to be pressed off the main shaft to get to the 3rd synchro. Occasionally they pop up on ebay. There is one in there now
