Subject:Syncro Transmission Core Needed
From:Budd Premack
Date:Wed, 2 May 2001 01:01:10 -0500

My recent acquisition of a second 86 Syncro has hit a bit of a snag.
Investigation of the reason why the granny gear would not engage led to the
discovery that the pinion shaft is badly scored and grooved, the granny and
ring gears are toast, and several bearings are also shot from all of the
metal shavings that have been swimming in the muck.

Therefore, I need a rebuildable transmission core.  One with a bad 3/4 gear
hub/slider will be acceptable.

I will be traveling next week from Minneapolis to NYC and back, so I can
pick up any available parts that are reasonably near that routing.
Available transmissions from other locations are also solicited, as they can
be shipped UPS.

Please p-mail with any suggestions.
