popping out of 2nd and 3rd gears
It appears both my 2nd and 3rd gear synchronizer rings are are bad.
When I try to shift into either gear at idle, the gears chatter and do not fully engage, and as I increase the engine speed they pop out. I took the top of the transmission off and was able to slide the synchronizer sleeve into third gear, but not 2nd gear.
With the synchronizer sleeve in third gear, I put the transfer case into neutral and started the engine with the clutch pedal depressed. I slowly let the clutch pedal out until the mainshaft started to spin. It did not pop out. I then depressed the clutch and increased the engine speed until the mainshaft started to spin fast. It was at 1700 rpm. Is this a normal amount of clutch drag? I am concerned if this is excessive drag, it may have damaged the synchronizers.
1st gear and reverse shift fine and do not pop out.
I would appreciate opinions and recommendations on what I should do next.
