Lol true
Well if I can find a place up here in qld that would better but if not I might have to send it to some where else as long it's good

Re: Manual gearbox reconditioning

Re: Manual gearbox reconditioning
yeah was probably going to do that this week just wanted to see if there was one that someone had used before, that way I can trust they can do an FTO box

Re: Manual gearbox reconditioning
That's right, plus the kit has dropped to a hundred bucks now, cheap as chips.

Re: Manual gearbox reconditioning
If doing an actual recondition of the gearbox wouldn't new synchros be used, otherwise what's the point?

Re: Manual gearbox reconditioning
Because the bearings wear out well before the syncros. You only replace syncros if you need to - the full kit with syncros is f*cking expensive too, about $500. Brass aint cheap.spetz wrote:If doing an actual recondition of the gearbox wouldn't new synchros be used, otherwise what's the point?

Re: Manual gearbox reconditioning
