Please help. Trans synchro slop

Won't run? Engine, cooling system, fuel pump, carb, clutch, tranny, brakes, etc. The old messages from the NPCA 'Engine & Mechanical' category are here.
So, I just bought this Patrol….

Everyone has been great Thank you all.

I understand why most have more than one. When something breaks, you gotta go take the part off of one of the other ones.

I am worried about even touching the engine. I have been reading lots of stories about no gaskets or gaskets not fitting right and not having the right parts and unable to get parts. Its worrisome.
The engine runs good in mine and zero leaks. The trans is a different story but I feel I should not touch the engine

If it ain't broke.... you know the rest.

if it has oil pressure and isn't blowing blue/white smoke, and if it runs smoothly, then the engine is probably sound - sound enough to focus on whatever else is wrong, anyway... 8-)
