when i go into third gear, it crunches, but is okay. i know that the synchronizers are messed up, is there a way to fix them? or do i need a new tranny? how difficult are shifter cables to replace?

You can replace the syncros, but it may just be cheaper for you to find a new tranny!! u can find em used for about 300 bucks or so. Shifter cables are fairly easy, just time consuming!!

I have had that same problem with my focus. This spring im planning on getting a clutch and flywheel kit for my car and was thinking about having the tranny rebuilt while i was at it. But it sounds like you guys are saying just the clutch and a minor adjustment or two will fix it?
