What would have me concerned is there's .020 between it popping out of gear and staying meshed,that's a fine line,but they are stuffing two synchros in a case that wasn't designed for it.They ship without the shift tower on the transmission I assume,wonder why they don't set them up and dowel pin the tower/case so on final assembly you hit the spot dead on?.With a .020 variance pinning would give some peace of mind in my opinion.
