uh oh!
Just had my 00 psd, 6spd, 112,000 miles, in for a checkup. came out shining with the exception of a leaky front left shock. however, i happened to mention to the tech that on occasion when i shift from 1st to 2nd the trans grinds a bit....like it doesn't want to go in gear. i thought maybe it was the clutch, but he said the clutch is fine. he said it may be a transmission syncronizer going bad. anybody have this problem? if so, how much does this repair typically cost? i'm expecting something of a large bill....being that they'll have to drop the tranny out and all that jazz. thanks in advance.

My 95 5-speed has had weak synchronizers for two years or so, due primarily to the factory clutch engineering. I am the only one who drives it until I get that fixed.
A local shop (NOT a chain) quoted me $500.00 to replace the synchronizer rings (he has a supplier who will sell just the rings, not the entire synchronizers) if I brought him the transmission out of the truck., $600.00 if he pulled the tranny.
Of course, this info is for the 5 speed - I am not sure what the 6 speeds would cost but it does give you a starting point.

How did they determine the clutch is fine if they didn't have the tranny out? I'm not saying it isn't, just wondering how they made the conclusion.
When you say 1-2 shift, do you mean L to 1, or 1-2 as they're marked which is actually the 2-3 shift?
