Its why synchro's are made from brass - bc they will get worn or chipped over time/hard use.. but when those synchro bits float around the trans oil... when they get smashed by two gear sets... they flatten out and don't damage the gears. Metal gear teeth WILL damage gear(sets).

So... change that trans oil often!
Not to be a pain in the ass, but brass IS a metal alloy, just a "soft" one...
