Let this be a lesson to all,if it looks worn or broke then FIX IT!I didn't replace first gear in my 3-spd manual when I replaced all the bearings,synchros, and small parts.It looked a little worn but I thought it would be all right.Besides,the gear was as much as the rebuild kit!I was trying to save a buck.Result;had to pull the tranny BACK out because of VERY excessive gear whine in first.Live and learn I guess.Arnie.
