possible syncro problems????
Well its been a long time since i have been on here but i have had a problem with my transmition. i was heading into work one day and something in the driveline locked up. i pulled it to the side of the road then restarted it let out on the clutch and just started to smoke the clutch like something behined it was the problem. well i called for a ride and left my truck on the side of the interstate and went to work whn i went back with a truck and trailer i had to put the transfer case into nutrual to winch it up. when i got it home i fired it up and tried to self diagnose and seemed that now thats its home its not locked up anymore but now only 4th gear works. all other gears make a weird grinding/rough metal on rough metal sound. could this just be the syncros or worse and what would be the price on that kinda of repair. dont want to spend alot of money because i have some differnt plans for the ruck later but want it to still drive for now.. thnks

This may add to the expense though,.....while you are in there...are you going to re-install the old clutch? If it's the original DMF flywheel, now is a good time to replace it with an aftermarket SMF flywheel.

I've pulled and re-installed my E4OD, and I've rebuilt a car manual transmission, but I haven't done a truck manual.
Rebuilding a manual isn't too bad. Just make sure you follow all the steps in the manual. I'd replace all bearings and synchros when you're in there.
