Hello
My son just got his '87 syncro running for the first time and we took it out
for a test ride last night. It runs pretty good but the tranny grinds pretty
badly going up into third gear. Shifting 1st-2nd and 3rd-4th seem fine. No
difficulty in shifting other than the grind!

Is this just a syncronizer problem or is it likely the famed cracked 3rd
gear problem?

What is the range for repair/rebuild on the 5 speed syncro tranny?

What would the cost be to just replace the 3rd gear syncro?

In the event he cannot drive with nor afford to repair the tranny, can a 2WD
4 speed be easily installed in place of the 4WD tranny?
