Synchronizers you can check the gap between them and the gear...that´s an indication of wear.
Then pull the solenoid and insert a tool that looks like a ball on the end of a rod then you can engage/disengage the overdrive manually and check that it works as it´s suppose to.
You can easily make that tool on your lathe...not critical in size.
