Thanks in advance

Bearing kits are available, sliders and gear are getting very pricey | | | | | Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 4,964 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 4,964 | Gears are on eBay quite regularly. The synchronizers are really getting scarce. When you buy new bearings, make sure you measure the width of the snap rings. A lot of them are thicker than original and will cause the whole thing to bind. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2012 Posts: 138 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2012 Posts: 138 | Call Tourist Transmissions in Salt Lake City.
