Carlos, Just to ask, maybe it's obvious, but did you use the synchros from the donor transmission too? I haven't opened anything up yet but see synchros selling separately on ebay for some reason and wasn't sure where they fit in to the swap.

Also, in one of the writes ups I saw mentioned about pulling the bearings or using new bearings, where do these fit in to the picture?

I just want to make sure that all I need are the gears themselves and a new gasket (and locktite and tranny fluid) or anything else like new bearings or bearing grease too.


Oh and last one, but to include, what tranny fluid did you end up using? From what I've read I've seen Dextron III ATF suggested, but still haven't confirmed what our cars had originally or if a generic ATF would work instead.
