Trans is the 3.27:1 first gear trans. Here is a link to the instructions for the transmission:

Here is a basic shot opened up:
Here is a good online picture of the the trans all laid out:

Here is what all was broken:
5th and reverse gear (in one setup): all of the keys for 5th/Reverse synchro were broken. That piece of key was all that was found- no other pieces were found of these keys.
Somebody had seen these when it was opened up/drained of the fluid. If I wasnt in a hurry and didnt love the trans, probably would have returned this transmission. However, KO the seller was good about reimbursing me some of the cash. He offered to take it back as well.
On the cluster gear, reverse had a couple of teeth broken off. Probably from being shoved into reverse with that synchro screwed up. I ended up finding another one of these but chose to install it later.
Ended up replacing the following:
1- 5th gear synchro
2- 5th gear keys
3- all bearings (5 total) as they made noise too
4- 3/4th synchro and keys
5- ended up buying new cluster shaft
