If it's the synchros, it means you have to take the tranny apart and replace
them. The synchro rings themselves are cheap, but conventional wisdom has it
that if you're going to pull the trans, rip it apart, etc., it's worth
checking and replacing the gears, bearings, 3-4 hub and so forth, which
amounts to a rebuild.
