How much it cost to fixed 5th gear syncho ?
I think my 5th gear syncho just went out. When I put it in 5th gear it will pop out to neutral. Do you know how much it would cost for parts and labor ? Thanks.

Doesn't sound like a syncho, usually just harder to get it into gear but will stay in one there. Figure around $60 of parts to do the job if you do it yourself. It's easier then you think. Paying someone, don't know. maybe a 4-5 hr job?

Damm $700 bucks. Just spended $686 for a clutch job last month. I think I am 80% leaning toward selling my car. I am getting too old and broke for this ****.

I'll do it for a couple hundred + parts....

In fact, I have a photo writeup coming soon that will make it a little easier.

Is it just as easy to replace all of them while it is open (syncros)?
I had my 5th gear syncro replaced by mazda. I took the transmission out my self and brought it there, I would have to say they thought it was odd for me to do that, but they only charged me $250 for parts and labor. Unfortunatly, I wish I would of had the others replaced at the same time. I might have to do it again. although I have owned the car since 96 and rebuilt the trans in 98.
Do you need special tools?

It's huge because it's very detailed and covers a full gearbox rebuild.
I hope to finish it by the end of the week. It's gonna be 56k unfriendly PDF files.
Use the one that Mahjik is hosting, and there is another out there (by shawnk I think). They aren't quite as detailed, but what you need to know is in there.
