There are pretty obvious big snychros, and little synchros. They are easy to replace. I'm mainly having issues determining which spot the one 'thick" synchronizer ring goes. I didn't pay attention while disassembling, that's my own fault. I ended up using all the small synchronizers and reusing an old one for 5th & rev because the 'thick' one made the gear stack too long to install the retention ball & sleeve on the end of the main shaft. After all was said and done i realized: "That's stupid, i'm stupid, there's somewhere that the 'thick' ring goes, and i need to disassemble this thing again and find it."
So i've come here for answers. It's not specified in the rebuild kit or the service manual.
Addendum: I broke a chunk off the transmission case with my little 1/4in impact, thus rendering the entire transmission as scrap. Now i'm in need of a good condition used FM 146.
