i went to go see the transmission today, and the guy showed me the parts he thought could be a slight problem.



he said that this gear had some wearing on the inside, and I looked. there were slight small scratches on the inside in between the teeth, and there was some sort of line forming on the side of each teeth. but other than that, it looked fine. hard to get a photo of it:



synchros look ok:


I guess I'll just reseal and throw this sucker in the car.
