I agree. Time for a rebuild so you might as well add some stronger parts while your in there. Hopefully you can save some $$ and do some of the work yourself. I know I saved lotsa $$ rebuilding mine with the help of my Father.

Sounds like you should be good... Get a set of snap rings too so you don't put the stretched ones back in. Just got done doing mine and it's really not that bad. D&D Performance and T56 Rebuilds have nice synchro kits at reasonable prices that include most of the parts you'll need.
