    I'm looking at a 1994 ECLB 3500 DRW 454 manual worktruck with 245 000 MILES for parts, and since the transmission is what I'm mainly after, I found it runs great but the shifter has play when in gear.

    Which internal transmission parts would I need to fix this issue?

    Also, for a rough truck like this, with no electric windows, how much would you guys pay for it

    Depends upon if it is gas or diesel. Gas = not much. Diesel it is probably worth 8-10 thou.

    The transmission probably has wear on the shift forks. There are a lot of people who rest their hand on the shifter. That keeps the shift fork up against the roatating shft collar, which wears on the shift fork.

    I have the same trans in my 94 2500 and it dosent have any slop in the shifter. My truck has 188k miles on it too. I agree its either worn shift forks or worn bushings. You can get all new syncos bearings and bushing kit for about 250 off ebay
