Rick, the clutch might not be fully disengaging. Its not always easy to tell. When you take that tranny apart, inspect the old syncros. The teeth might be pretty rounded off which would slow down engagement. The inside round part should not be smooth, it needs to be rough or nurled looking. This is so that it slows down the gear to match the engagement of the next gear. I would replace the syncro's for sure, they are cheap. The syncro's mesh with a slider gear. If the slider gears are rounded, it will slow up engagement of the syncro. You can sharpen them yourself as long as there is still enough meat left on the slider. I had a top loader haging up on me but new syncro's and sharpend sliders did the trick. Scott
