Cost to replace synchros on a 91 C4?
Subject pretty much says it. Get a grind going from 2nd to 3rd (ONLY) under hard shifting (slower shifting alleviates the grind). What is the average cost of replacing the synchro rather than the tranny (*cough* *wheeze*)?

You can probably plan on a complete rebuild since 99% of the effort needs to be done to replace that one synchro, and because you've got to buy the full synchro kit. I don't have the link to the place in Texas here, but they get $800 for the rebuild kit, $400 for labor to rebuild it, plus you've got to pay freight shipping both ways. :cry

Yep. That's kinda what I figured. (i was guessing around $1,100) :(
We'll see how she does when she gets outta the shop and see about pulling the trigger on this one.
Wonder if there is a shop in my area (Long Island) that will do it for around that cost ($1200). Save me on that idea of shipping and waiting.

Here's the facts....just had it done...
Standardtransmission.com (TX). total: $1950.00
Reverse Synchro gear
Reverse Synchro Sleave
Reverse main shaft
Labor
$150 of it was for shipping to Kansas City
Then on top of that ,$750 for Superior Chevrolet to remove/install and ship the tranny to TX.
Yes, they had to purchase the entire synchro kit so I have several synchros if anyone needs them...$100 each with free shipping within the continental US.
