ooooh - you just made me think of something.....
my slip yolk is a little funny on one side - but the side where it is 'funny' is way deep in the tranny - so i dont think that will affect anything - but i suppose it *could* be making the drive shaft 'whip'....
but to be honest - it sounds like your description of the "worn synchro" is more likely the problem --- i would almost bet that it is tranny related - because of the feel when it POPs.
i am a mechanical engineer - finishing my master's degree. i defend my thesis proposal on monday (of next week). then i am moving to kansas city to pursue a non-engineering line of work. i would be more than happy to take a look at what you have. my focus in mechanical engineering was manufacturing at first, and parts design later.
