Steve -
As a general rule, I never bother downshifting in the BJ8 box except =
from 4th to 3rd, anything less you are better off using the brakes =
because brake pads are way cheaper and easier to replace than synchro =
rings or a clutch. Of course this means you have to brake intelligently =
(esp. going downhill) and not burn em.
Another thing to consider other than a worn synchro is if the throwout =
bearing is worn, you'll have a tendency to grind various gears.
Best,

My question for you on my transmission rebuilt is when I was =
downshifting from third gear to second the gears were grinding I was =
always having to double clutch to get it in the second gear. I have =
replaced just about every part in the gearbox including the second gear =
which I thought was the problem as the synchro was bottoming out or =
touching the face of gear it was well worn. Went yesterday for my first =
test drive and all of the gears worked perfectly and shifted very =
smoothly but when I try to downshift from third to second it grinds =
terribly I had to come to a complete stop to be able to shift it into =
second gear. It shifts from 1st to 2nd no problem third and fourth gears =
work very well as does reverse. Do you have any suggestions? I =
couldn=E2=80=99t find anything on the tolerances between the gears would =
you have access to some kind of chart or spec sheet? My other thought =
was the plunger in the sliding hub might not be engaging on the first =
motion shaft. Any thoughts or ideas for me to try!=20
I would certainly appreciate any help you might be able to provide!
