Hi all

My TR6 tranny and J-type OD are now in many, many pieces, and I've got the final
gaskets I need on order.  Everything has been cleaned and is sparkly clean.

My question is this.  Does anyone want to buy the J-type before I put it back
together?  Just kidding.  8^}

Now the real question.  What does a worn synchro cup look like.  I bought four
new ones through the TRF hundred grand sale but a) they look far less robust the
ones already in my tranny, and b) I don't see any wisible wear on the ones
currently in the tranny.  Where does the wear take place on these?  Broken/worn
teeth, the little fins on the inside on the cups worn away, something else?

What else should I look at in there?  I know about the counter shaft bearings,
but again they appear to be brand new.
