Default Broke a synchro

Knocked the 2nd gear synchro out yesterday. Anyone know of a good place to get one or should I just not waste any time and get in touch with Six Speeds, Inc and redo em all while Im in there? The rest of the trans looks immaculate inside so Im not worried about the gears or anything else. But anyhoo, heres a couple pics of how the rest of my night went after that.





and heres the culprit.

Rockland Standard Gear www.rsgear.com is a good source for T56 parts.

It was tight going in for a while, but it didnt grind until it went. So yours may be broken already. If it only grinds into that one gear I would say it already broke. You dont want to drive around with that, because if it starts to break into smaller pieces you might cause more problems.

A synchro shouldnt be that much, I havent gotten any prices yet though so it might be more than I think, lol.
