Synchronizer ring question

[snowteller]

Good afternoon all,

Really silly question here.... A saw a synchronizer ring listed for a 3 speed 68 -74. I know a 71 is not a synchro trans. Would I be able to add just the ring to make it a simple synchro trans if it list 68 and up 3 speeds.

Thanks and sorry for the dumb question.

71 40 original 3 speed

3 speed trannys are synchro on 2 and 3; just not on first.

Pin head is correct. You need two synchros. Both are the same part number. Sounds like yours needs replacing if you're assuming it's a non synchro trans.

I also never heard the mid 63 thru 67 was different than the later three speed which was used into the eighties in some markets.
