Ok guys, here's the deal.
Howard is going to order a 2nd gear syncro ring kit for my 6 speed. If it's wrong, I'll be out the money and we'll know this deal is basically dead. If it's right, we'll work on getting the rest of the parts ordered.
Since the 6 speed 1/2 rings are the same as on the 93 5 speed, I'll try to work with one of the local guys to check it against a 5 speed unit too. It would really help if we can find someone to take the plunge on the 91-92 5 speed model though. Those carry a different PN for the syncro rings.
He's also going to order a couple input shaft bearings for the guys who were asking about those.
Bret, we're not trying to go over your head or question your abilities. I just want to excercise every option we have available. The ONLY reason I cracked and bought an AWD 3S, after the tons of problems I had with my FWD car, was because I thought I could finally get trans parts for it. If this does not work out, I will have to seriously consider selling the car. Forgive me if I seem a little desperate. I love this car far more than my last one, but I cannot endure another money pit like I used to have.
We'll keep everyone posted on the progress of the order. I'm going to go out and buy a 20-ton press in the next couple of days so that I can have everything torn apart and ready to go once the syncro rings get here.
