4spd rebuild questions..
I yanked out my 4spd today and dropping it off at the shop tomorroing for an estimate. My 3&4th syncros are shot. Anything else I can do to beef this thing up?
Also what is the going rate for a complete rebuild?

I paid $415 to have mine rebuilt
That inlcuded parts and labor - glass beading the tranny case, new bearings, new synchros, new gaskets, checking clearances for wear. All Genuine GM parts were used, no after market. Insist on Genuine GM parts. Technician who did it was a previous GM tech at a dealership when the muncies were in production. I highly recommend him. He is at Carlisle each year.
He is located in Northern Va., if your local tech does not work out you could ship the tranny but of course that would add to the cost.
If you want his name and number please send me a PM.
Good Luck

Corey,
Have you thought about doing it yourself? I just did my M20 and it was not a hard job at all. I bought my rebuild kit and the how to video from 5speeds.com. The video is excelent it even shows you how to evaluate for wear. The only special tools I need to buy were a good quality set of snap ring pliers. When you see the quote for rebuilding these things you might want to consider DIY.
