Dunno if it's the right way, but I've always faced them all to the front of the trans (except when I flip the reverse synchro instead of replacing). I've seen all 4 synchros face both directions on bone stock transmissions, so figured it must not matter much.

I put all the synchos with the line facing to the rear!!!

what do you think??
I must need to open it and change the synchos or just close it and mount it?

They can go either way. I usually just put the lines to the rear of the unit when assembling the mainshaft assembly.

All the F body T56 came from the factory with the lines facing front of the trans. Most of the Vette T56 came facing toward the back. It can be installed either way.
