The motor runs just fine. The syncronizer doesn't actually sieze. The magnet falls out and trashes the half moon eclips. All the parts fall into and down the shaft. This is usually what siezes the shaft. As i said before my wife has living proof. Her car ran just fine with a busted syncronizer. the magnet and eclips were gone. Just a bunch of powdered metel where everything should have been and there was a hole in the top of the pick up sensor big enough to put my pinky finger in. Ford wanted $287.78 for the
shaft assembly and you didn't get the sensor. The car ran on " limp mode ".

The synchronizer assembly fits down into the block like a distributor & has a gear on the end that is driven by the camshaft. This shaft also drives the oil pump.....The chirping is caused by bearing failure in that assembly due to a lack of lubrication. If this totally seizes up it will cause engine damage and the engine
will not run!
