I've got a old zf5 I picked up cheap... guy said it grinded going into all gears. I wanna convert my truck to manual (I have taken more than enough abuse from these autos, tyvm). It *could* have been that the clutch was not disengaging all the way and it seemed like worn synchros... but it's also possible that it was something like that that wore the synchros down in the first place. Anyway... can I bolt this thing in and get going with no synchros? I'm sure it wont be enjoyable at first, but after a while it should be learned, shouldn't it? What kind of damage am I chancing on the gears? Also, hope can I check to see if it needs bearings? Input shaft play?
on a side note (this is a dumb one) what can I do to get water out of a trans? Its been sitting outside, and I know it rained otw back from where I picked it up (didnt tarp it :lookaround
Thanks in advance.
