Just purchased a 68 Jeepster. Buick 225 with a t90 tranny. Have a hard time getting it into gear, reverse, 1st whatever. Just takes forever to go in and i really have to slam it into gear.. Any ideas it would be the synchros in the tranny are gone or maybe the clutch? The clutch still feels good in my opinion. Any ideas?

I would suspect the clutch since it's hard to shift into reverse. Reverse shouldn't be synchronized.

Yea I always have a bad time shifting before the clutch goes out.

1st isn't synchronized either on the T90, only 2nd and 3rd.

It probably has corrosion on the input shaft, and the disk isn't able to slide away from the flywheel when the clutch is released. Seen that a few times.
