Hello David, I'm up in minneapolis. My wife and I are also new owners of a
spitfire. I drove it in to work today (just to make sure it was safe for
her to drive ;) I also have some tranny problems, 3rd gear syncro is
non-existant. Transmissions are pretty cheap, I've seen them between $25
and $100 so I'm going to snap one up and rebuild it so I can swap it in.
Good luck
