Synchro ring replacement

[Clark]

Hey guys,

I think I’ve purchased a bit of lemon in a cruiser and as you may all know the prices of these things are absolute crazy. I was caught in the hype because I genuinely wanted to take my family touring around Australia to some nice beaches and remote places but I’ll have to make sure the car is checked over properly - even though I paid for a mechanic to check it over for me. So far I’m needing synchro rings to be replaced on my 1994 Landcruiser 80series. I’ve been quoted $3500 would anyone based in Sydney know of a place that may be a bit cheaper or is this the going price? Also, water seems to be leaking inside the cab and I believe it’s coming through the windscreen. If anyone is able to assist with some honest people, I’ll be happy to pay.

Many thanks

Synchro rings require a full disassembly and rebuild of the gearbox, ~$3k isn't that unreasonable if they are supplying parts as there is a lot of labour involved
