john duglos In your tranny look at the space between the brass synchronizer ring and the gear,if the 3 are about equal probably OK if to close may want to grind easily when you shift. Look closely at the teeth on the gear where the shift collarengages it these teetth will be hidden when in gear, If the teeth are chipped-up it means they have been ground into gear and are more likely to jump out of gear. hope that helps Also if the shift collars too easily go in gear by hand it means a lot of wear.
