My '98 9k aero manual gearbox needs some repairs, the 2nd gear synchro is on it's way out. Other than that it seems ok, but more wear may become apparent once I get it apart. I've tackled most repairs over the years, but a gearbox rebuild is not one of them. Has anyone replaced synchros themselves, or have you always entrusted that to a specialist? How difficult a job is it and do you need any specialist tools? Is the Haynes gearbox manual worth buying? Any experience would be much appreciated. many thanks David
