am i getting ripped off? so my tranny gets stuck in 3rd gear and wont move so it looks like i gotta rebuild. I took it to a local tranny shop to see how much the damage would be but it seems im getting more than i bargained for.
here are the pics i took
you can see the broken key
compare the synchros from 3,4,5 i believe (3rd being the farthest left)
4th, 5th gear synchros
3rd gear synchro
he said it would be wise to replace 3rd and 4th gear cuz its worn down compared to the other gears.
the hub/slider assemblies for 1-2, 3-4, 5-6
a steel shift fork for 3-4,
synchro kit and a bearing kit.
what do you think?

Well i cant remember what mine looked like when it was apart but in my opinion your gears look pretty good, I would try and get someone to come look at it and get a second opinion. As far as the steel shift fork, I believe that there was a recall from GM to have the aluminum 3-4 fork replaced with a steel one, because when mine was taken apart it already had the 3-4 steel fork. How many miles you got on your car? And if you do have to end up replacing some parts I would order from T-56reuilds.com hes a sponsor here on the forum, great people to work with.
