You dont need a new one. Just open it up, check it out. Order a new 3rd sync if that is the case and put it back in. Inspection is the key.

Might actually be cheaper to buy a new one than to have it rebuilt.

research for a thread for a tranny fluid by ?GM? that seems to knock out the synchro grind.

my 5th is bad in the rex unless i place it just right. my 2nd was bad while in the rex but now in the hatch bcuz of the very tight gear ratio, no grinds what so ever.

also if you decide to replace the synchro i can put you in touch with George out in Orlando who knows how to do this work and may do it for you. He may be at Sunday's meet with one of his rex's.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.
