Trans chatter

[HHAMMEREDAMMERED]

Hoping some one can give me some info on fixing this chat box 3 speed trans I picked up.
Got a great deal on a 65 Cruiser here in Costa Rica.
1 owner and came with the original spanish owner manual and bill of sale dating back to 1965.

Nice shape but the 3 speed transmision sounds like as my wife put it bob spunge head laughing his ass off.

I had a look inside and the sincros seem to be NFG. they are very sloppy. Is this my Problem???
I plan on dropping the trani on Monday.
Any help on what else to look for would be greatly appreciated.

It is no fun trying to get stuff done here and have to do this job myself.
I was told it would be a 3 day job and the local shop. this mean it may take 2 weeks.
I am sure I could have it out and fixed within 2 if I can find my parts.
Any links to helpful how to do sites also great

3 speeds are (relatively) easy to rebuild. If your syncros are gone, that's a start. Remember, too, you have no syncro between 1 and 2. You probably want to just redo all the bearings while you are in there. Your transfer case is also likely a source of noise (idler gear shaft is often worn). Transfer cases are easier to rebuild than trannys.

Then, theres also the opportunity to get the right stuff and change it over to a 4 speed.

Nice looking truck!

problem found but not solved

Bob spunge head was the idler gear in the transfer case and he did damage.

The bearing was toasted on one size and it was walking back and forth making that hahahahahahahaha noise.

ANyhow upon a closer look I found out it chewed up the race on the gear and it in crap.
Trying to figure out an easy fix now.
Sleave is out No shop can do it here.
JB WELD??? hahahaha..

Any suggestions greatly appreciated again.
