2nd gear synchro is gone... I need new synchros it seems. Is it hard to replace? Do I have to drop the tranny? Whats involved? Are there other bearings and stuff that should be replaced while im in there? How long does it usually take?

 

Yes you have to drop the trans and completely disassemble it.
