I am glad I did. I thought I had a progressively worse 3rd gear synchro for the last month and yesterday I was backing it out of the garage and then, shift knob goes loose and doesnt go into anything. Hmmm pull the boot and the right side cable had just unscrewed itself completely. It was slow to the point that 3rd gear just got harder and harder to reach. I thought if it was a cable issue that 1-3-5 would be a problem not just 3rd and thats why I didnt check. Well that fixed it and its shifts crisply and perfect into all gears and returns to neutral with a spring. Everything just needed to be tightened and that saved my from rebuilding the tran or selling it way cheaper. Anyway it's not a bad idea to check everyonce in a while.
