i had them go on me a week after the blower went on. the car is now parked for the winter, and when spring comes i will be looking for a new tranny to be built for it. because the syncros are gone again.

You've likely got a bent shift fork, and once that happens it chews the crap out of the synchros, the synchro's themselves aren't the problem.

The fact that they are weak stamped aluminum seems to enough reason both times I've had it happen.
