ALL 5 new syncros, 2 new sliders, adjusted per specs...... What are the symptoms of this rebuild? VERY Hard to shift at first? Its not in a running car yet, but mounted under it. It shifts VERY hard, will this get better as everything gets worn in? How long does that take?

Oh forgot to meantion, lubed up gears before install and shifted tough but fine through all gears on bench. But installed so far and tried it with no oil in tranny yet. I am assuming it will get a little easier with oil, but WOW it is stiff

thanks for your advice (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I just used a spare transmission case and cut a hole out the side of it to ALIGN the gears again.(Clay Perrine trick on this site) This made the job "easy". I could literally see exactly if my forks were interfering with each other through all gear selections. . Once set. I pulled the stack out of my temporary case and WHA LA!!! Very nice shifting in my car now (by hand of course and stiff) I guess I didnt have the 4/5 gear fork set right. Now all of them are perfect.

Thanks Dr. Evil for your advice. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
