How much should a 5th gear syncro fix cost?
So, I live in an apartment complex so I can't do any major work on my FD on my own, so I'm forced to use a shop. I went to a RX7 specialist and got a quote for a 5th gear syncro fix, but it seemed a little high. I was hoping some people out there who had a shop do their work would be willing to share how much they spent on their transmissions. Thanks.

A total guess....
You have to remove and replace the transmission, 6 to 8 labor hrs at ~ $85 per,
Fix the synchro, ~ 1. 5 labor hrs at ~ $85 per.
Parts, ~ $120.
Fluids, ~$50
While your in there, and if the car has any miles on it at all, you could also consider:
*New throw-out bearing
*Rear transmission seal
*Replace/repack pilot bearing
*Resurface pressure plate
*Re-torque engine tension bolts (while pressure plate is removed)
*Replace clutch fork

On the FD they've been known to fatique over time and fail/break. Especially with upgraded (stiffer) pressure plates. I just put it out there. It's certainly not mandated. But it would suck to pull the tranny a second time just for that...and I don't think they're all that much.
