I rebuilt my tranny a few months ago with parts of unconfirmed origin. You guys have driven me right into a panicked frenzy about cheap repro parts ever since. I just bought a set of these ebay synchros to have on the shelf.

I ended up getting it set up at .012.  I had to used a .003 and a .010 shim that you sent.  Thanks again for them.
I've got it it all mounted back up to the Jeep, just got to bolt up a few other items pour some lube in and try it out.

I am sure getting good at making gaskets Undecided.

It had never shifted so smooth between 2nd-3rd as it does now.  I think from the get go the other junk shift plates started to get gouged and worn right after I put them in.

I may get to where I could drive it today sometime.

My trigger finger is vibrating trying to convince me to buy that assembly, but my mind keeps saying, Carl, do you really need them.

I am thinking the T90 was used in a whole lot of vehicles but finding a list is a real problem.  I may contact Borg Warner to see if they can provide a list.

EUREKA!
I drove it around this morning and it shifts like butter.  Much better than before.

I have got to practice my double clutching.  Having the floor still out makes foot placement a little tough in that regard. 
I also, hopefully, fixed a leaking rear output seal of transfer case.

Many do not understand how important it is to double clutch shifting from first to second and second to third is. That simple task can decrease the wear and tear on the synchro rings. I have found it's best to blip the throttle with the clutch out on the first to second change and to not blip the throttle on the second to third change.

Double clutching to go from second to low is a good thing to learn if you do a lot of trail riding. I practice that as much as possible even on the street coming up to a stop sign or traffic light. After a while it is easy to do.

I was suffering with the same syndrome.  But, I ended up ordering one of the NOS Synchro assemblies.  As Bretto said, You can get the whole assembly, NOS Made In USA, for about the same price as you can buy just the NOS blocker (synchro) rings, when you can find them.  To me, that synchro assembly with the blocker rings are the most vulnerable part of the T-90 tranny operating correctly and smoothly.  And the synchro rings are most subject to wear.  So, my purchase is just an insurance policy.  Like other insurance policies, I hope I never have to use it, but if I do, it will be nice to have it.

60 years from now your 3A parts box will have a brand new assy on hand that no one will be able to supply.  Sorry to provide you the temptation Smiley
