tranny problems
I bought a 1996 GSR last month. I was orginally planning to drive this car for 1-2 years and then get another car but now I've decided to keep it and maybe get a new motor or rebuild the engine in a couple of years.
So right now I'm having some transmission problems. I think it is with the synchros. When I'm downshifting from 5th to 4th it is ok, but when I downshift to 3rd it won't go in. It would only go in if I rev it up and match it myself. I took it to one mechanic and he said that my synchromesh is worn out and I need a transmission overhaul or replace the tranny with a used one. I need a 2nd opinion on it, what do you guys think it is?
I was thinking of just leaving the tranny now until the motor die as well and then get a new tranny with my new motor or rebuild motor in 2 years so I want to check if this tranny problems can lead to other problems like with the motor or is it just going to be like this because I think I can hold out until I rebuild the motor.

where would I be able to get this. Would canadian tire or walmart carry these?
Is it possible for me to do it myself or is it really hard? Any links to a guide on how to do this?
