So I'm kind of in a bind on what to do. Used Trans = $600-900. Shop Rebuild would be $1000 or so. Even if I couldd get the trans out, I'm wondering if specialized tools are need to replace whatever I need replaced.
np. You'd probably need snap ring pliers and a 20 ton press. The syncro assembly was about 200 bucks last time I checked and the associated tools would probably cost similiar, so if you can find a good used trans you get the added bonus of everything inside being newish instead of just 2nd gear
