Hey all, just went to the mechanic to have him checkout my synchro's as i can tell they are on their way out, apparently he says that my clutch is also stuffed just by feeling it (the clutch pedal), and my pinion bearing is also stuffed (cos it makes a whirling noise), and also my 2nd and 3rd gear synchro's are stuffed but i already knew that. Does this sound right or is this guy trying to rip me off?
As soon as he felt the clutch he told me it was stuffed, my clutch had no freeplay, he adjusted it free of charge for me now it feels a whole lot different, its alot lower and i dont have to push the same distance anymore, and he said my clutch is probably stuffed cos it had no freeplay and its been like that for the life of the car. And as for the pinion bearing, ive heard that this whirling noise is normal, but i also get a squeaking noise when i push my clutch in so this may be related.
Please give me some feedback as i am about to spend BIG on this.
Thanks.

By the way i have a 92' Legacy non-turbo FWD, and since he adjusted the clutch that squeaking noise from the clutch is gone.
