if i remember correctly, no, you cannot put steel forks in a transmission that comes with aluminum ones. they do not line up correctly.

Also, FYI: synchros are not made of copper. They are brass....

i am still trying to grasp the fact that someone wants carbon coated syncro's on what sounds like a stock car with high miles? learn to drive first, ask questions afterwards.
