Hi Jerry,
It's normal for the synchro cups to stick to the cone ends of the gears,
after all they are really little clutches. I use a screw driver to pry the
cups away the mating surfaces on the gears and then check to make sure the
shafts turn freely. I also engage each gear and verify smooth operation.
Sometimes the cups have to be pried loose after a gear disengaged.

Subject: TR3 Gearbox Overhaul
| I have just overhauled my gearbox and added new bearings, seals and
synchro
| cups (3). The gearbox is still on the workbench without the cover
(shifter)
| on. When it is set in neutral there is almost slippage between the input
| shaft and the output flange when I turn the input by hand, but when I hold
| the output flange it is hard to twist but there is some slip. It looks to
| me like the synchros for 3rd and 4th are too snug to the their gears. Is
| there a way of freeing these up without total dissassembly? Any hints
would
| be helpful.
