5th Gear Synchro
#3
holy ****, thats alot, could i do it myself. how much is the kit you can buy.
do i really need to do it, can still use 5th, just cant shift fast into it, which i really dont need to because he said it is capible of 143 in 4th, so dont need to race any faster than that.
damn, fd's kick ***

you can shift slow into gear.....kinda just let it sit on neutral while you hold the clutch down and then after a 2 second ease it into gear........ i've been doin it for more than a year.. and the symptons havent gotten any worse.
keeping it in 4th will eat your gas on the highway

i just rebuilt mine with a friend. it was really pretty easy actually. we found a great thread on the other forum and we made our own sst's. you need two different bearing pullers and a little pin punch. i made my own pin punch froma screw and a grinding wheel. and we bought bearing pullers buy we had to lengthen the arms to make it fit. we used some aluminum flatbar to make those. probably 30-40 bucks in the bearing pullers..."we bought expensive ones" and about $50 for the synchro and upgraded select spindle from malloy mazda. took about 2-3 days to do it. because we only worked on it a for a couple hours a day. and we were doing a bunch of other stuff to the car at the same time....clutch,tanny/diff braces. anyways here is the link with the write up we used.
