The noise you were hearing was synchro and shift related. That's what I was saying, performing that adaptation may eliminate the noise but damage to synchros was most likely occurring. The faults you have are indeed synchro end of life. I do sell brand new synchros with shift collars. And parts you need. Thanks for the shout out, though. We sale all parts for that gearbox.

Yeah... I bought a BMW Z4, drunk on New Years ( No I didn't test drive it ) with 100,000 miles on it. Generally, I do a market search, and it was a good buddy I'd bought cars from before, but I was just waiting for something to fail and total the car. I'd just bought a 4RUNNER the week before so I was down about 25 k. Since I live on my sailboat, and park on the beach, I kept it at a buddy's house across the bridge. Fun little car, no major problems , few upgrades ,but needed some minor cosmetics. Still made me a nervous wreck. Felt like I had to pay attention to ,and drive it. Owned it about a month. Took a few k bath , but got rid of it. All this looks easy, or fun, but unless you have deep pockets ? Buy something you can pay cash for that doesn't kill you at the garage. Even if you're the garage.
