I've got an unusual 3-2 downshift crunch in my CSS 6-spd that I suspect is a 2nd gear synchro. I've been snooping around to see what it would cost to fix and like you have found no one wants to work on it. The only place I found that would was in CO but it was going to cost at least $5K. With my engine rebuild going to cost an astronomical amt, I haven't pursued spending more on top of that. I'm sure I kept the info on the name of the place in CO if you're interested, but it will take me a while to find it.
