That is why I thought they were bad when you had it apart.

Bit of better advice: 20 years ago chevy was having problems with newbies burning up their new to them manual trans pick ups. They have a pretty expensive fluid exactly for this problem, but it isn't ECO thin. Might get a couple quarts and try it.

I have found the only way to not fry synchros is to no clutch shift and allow the shafts to speed adjust with throttle and no more than extremely light shifter pressure. If it doesn't go easy it ain't right yet. Doesn't respond to quick shifting but I can get 400,000 miles out of a tranny. Takes me about a year to learn the car and makes my wife crazy. Double win.
