ZF going bye-bye

[89z51l98]

Hi All-

The synchronizers/shift forks in my ZF are fairly worn. It appears that both ZF and GM have disowned this transmission. Has anyone done a write-up of replacing the ZF with a T-56... fitment and parts-needed?

The cheapest I saw synchronizers for was about $700... if I can keep the parts cost to below $1000, I wouldn't mind rebuilding it... otherwise I would rather have some sort of a factory supported transmission... does anyone have a line on parts for the S6-40?

Thanks for any input!

How much do you want for your badly worn ZF?

Not sure yet... I'm more concerned with repairing/replacing it first.

Thanks guys... I just sent him an e-mail.

If I end up getting the ZF rebuilt... how often are you all changing oil in it? I don't have any useful documentation for the car yet... but from zfdoc's website looks like 12,000 miles.
