Walt, it just so happens that I've just replaced the 2nd gear synchro on my '98 9k aero. Because I couldn't find anything on the net I decided to take some pictures as I went along. Seeing you post made me get my finger out and make a web page http://homepage.ntlworld.com/home01/gearbox.html There are lots of pictures (about 2.5Mb total) so it may take a while to load on a slow connection. I've rushed this to get it live, so if you see any mistakes please let me know, I hope you find it useful.
