Reverse Syncro Hey everyone, I just bought a 1995 z28 with the lt1 and the t-56 tranny. the reverse gear is pretty much shot, i have to push the shifter and hold it there when in reverse and even then it jumps out. I have been looking around and seen that i might not have to get the tranny taken out since you can gain access to the reverse syncro from the back? Is this true? and would it be better to flip it around or replace the whole syncro and if so what brands of syncro do you suggest with prices. thanks in advance

well at the moment i am stuck driving my ford focus... i am going to try to get this fixed the first week i am back from college. so i am just trying to see if it is going to be cheaper then what i expect. and i am refraining from putting it in reverse just sounds terrible.

Reverse uses a brass syncro ring unlike the rest of the unit that uses a steel ring lined with carbon fiber material .
I would order the brass ring , fork pads and have them debur the sleeve and flip it around .
