Re: is my granny 4spd sychronized?
Yup, 1st and rev are unsynced, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th have syncros. Mine shifts kind of hard when I downshift into 2nd but doesn't grind. To get into 1st or rev you have to be at a dead stop or it will grind, and sometimes if it won't pop in it helps to slowly let out the clutch while you keep pressure on the shifter. I used to drive a 73 f350 (I think the tranny was very similar if not the same) and it shifted identical to mine so I assume that is how they are supposed to work. I thought mine was a pain till I drove my wife's 41 gmc, now that one is a trick to drive without grinding
