negative, just a synchro kit.

It's NOT illegal. It's just frowned upon, like masturbating on an airplane.

you have something in your trans called a slider and that slider needs to engage on a gear. those gears are spinning very fast inside the transmission, synchros slow those gears down just enough so the slider can have an easier time engaging the gear.

so basically synchros are like brake pads, they slow the spinning gears down. if there worn out, the slider will have problems engaging with the gear, thats were the grinding noise as you shift comes from (gears clashing with the gears engagement teeth.

a synchro kit is just that, a synchronizer kit.
