Subject:stuck in 3rd

Why is it that when my bus (and wife's car, and truck) are running awesome
all of my friend's rigs bit the bullet? Last week is was my good friend's
jetta, and last night it was another good friends syncro...

86 (87?) syncro stuck in 3rd.  That is exactly as much as i know.  What
could it be?

And second, how much is a syncro worth with a bad tranny?  (If that is
what the problem is) Here is my idea. I want a syncro. I can maybe pick it
up from my friend for a cheap (1K ?) then just hang on to it until i have
the available $ for a tiico and a tranny.  I will fund this endevour
by -gasp- selling my 84 bus.

thanks
-Matthew
