Transmission Is Dying, Im Thinking Synchronizer Options

[dlx742]

I was driving to work today as I normally do almost everyday, when I accelerated at a traffic light. I shifted out of first and tried to put it in second when I first noticed the problem. It was very hard to put it in gear but as a spur of the moment thing i pushed it in. Then when I went to shift out of second it was very difficult and nearly impossible to put it in 3rd. I pulled over to a parking lot to check out the problem and decided it was the synchronization. I can drive it but in order to shift I have to match the rpm, speed, and gear.

any thoughts?

so if my 1,2,3,4 works and not my 5th then its my syncro right? cuz if i put in 5th nothing.

well that i dont know, i doubt its the syncro cause the syncro's are susposed to help make shifting easier.

ps: hey look we joined 6gc the same day lol

actually the syncros do the actual shifting by locking the gear into place on the gear shaft, so if you have all
all gears but one, its probably something related to that syncro/gear or possibly a linkage problem.
