what does a non brass syncro look like heck both.
seeing is believing and sets brain cells to not forget.
i see your other posts you have 4speed A/t box, but....
but some newer transfer cases have a shift syncho , (you have 1998, let me look that up, now, xfr case..... no ring sport transfer case.! so might run GL5 there.
the 1999 Vitara transfer box does have a shift syncro added this first year. (all new a 4 pieces set there unlike any other early year)
this is the rule that matters, regardless of what box, there, one of the 2 exists. (MT1 has no NO RINGS, 1950)
The tranny engineer, designed the ring (read TUNED) to work with GL4, and there was no synthetic GL4 then so how can he do that, he could not.
Those friction groves seen below are for GL4 only, (tuned) when the groves wear flat the you will find it first very hard to down shift first, new rings the cure.
2nd gear ring dies first, for sure in city 1/2 , 2/1 and 2/3 shifting lots. traffic.
