Hi I bought a 96 SE on ebay and had a bad 3rd gear syncro.Its a big job,book call for 12 hours just for r&r tranny.I had about 20 hrs total time.You have to disconect a whole lot of stuff and drop the front frame while supporting the engine.Unless you have a place and the experince to do it id take it some where.I got an estimate of $1200 to fix it.That was mostly labor,only about $80 for the part.
