If it's the synchro's...it's rebuild time.

(Could range from $600-$1000 depending on shop.)

had mobil1 in there since about 85,000k, just changed out again a few
weeks
ago when I first noticed shifting difficulty. a neighbor of mine thinks
I
need a tranny rebuild but I'm hoping it's an easier fix, looks like I'll

hafta get the clutch changed out for starters. Haven't looked at clutch
cylinder yet though--gonna hafta peek in Haynes for that one...

if it is synchros, is that big bucks? I haven't got a clue...

but doesn't rule out clutch cyl probs. Take a peek at the fluid, see if

there's any metal fragments (unusally large amounts or big peices).
I'm

up for a clutch job just about anytime, wouldn't take long with the lift
on

that truck :) >>
