Default T-5 Rebuild Question

Rebuilding my T-5, the synchros are going so i'm just gonna rebuild it all.

http://store.summitracing.com/partde...p;autoview=sku

I'm just making sure thats a good kit to rebuild with, it's the stock rebuild kit i would get a better one but i can't afford it. Does that kit definatly come with the Synchros i need? Anything else i should order with it, any fluids ect.

That kit does come with the synchros, they are the things in the picturein the middle/right with the little "teeth" on them. Are you going to attempt this yourself, or pay someone to do it?

If you click on the "suggested parts" tab, it says what type of fluid you need.

Don't you run regular atf in a rebuilt tranny first, then change it to synthetic after 500 miles or so.
