Don't tell me you don't carry an extra clutch as a trail spare...

Bad synchros or a clutch that's not releasing enough?

I just purchased a 91 Jeep Wrangler YJ and I have a few quick questions
for any experts out there. It looks like the transmission is going to
need work. The YJ is a manual 2.5 liter 4 cylinder. It does some pretty
serious grinding when you downshift. Although it does not grind when
upshifting. What are my options? I have a 6 cylinder tranny for trade,
not sure how I would get anyone interested. Also the light for the
speedometer does not seem to work. I would greatly appreciate any
insights or help. Thanks.
