Re: Synchros?

Another legit question, haven't found it answered anywhere: did the '54 3-speed (or 3-speed OD) transmission have synchros? Mine seems to have "crash" gears in 1st, 2nd, and I think even 3rd! I was expecting more from Packard. Isn't this a Ford transmission, though? But even the early '60s Ford 3-speeds had at least 2nd and 3rd "synchromesh" gears. What gives?
