Replacing syncros

I did a search and came up with nothing, I was wondering how hard it is to replace the syncros in a 1992 f150 with the mazda 5 speed. The grinding has been getting progressivly worse when shifting from 2nd into 3rd it dosen't do it all the time about 80%. 4th to 3rd is fine. Or could it be something else?

Thanks for the help

Have you tried asking this in the Clutch and Tranny forum?

It involves fully disassembling your transmission and reassembling it.

If you're serious, I strongly recommend investing in the book "How to Rebuild and Modify your Manual Transmission" - I wish I had this for my first rebuild.
You'll want to replace all the bearings as well - I suggest you call transtar industries and get a price on their rebuild kit.
