Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Rev 2 gearbox crunch
I had the same problem & it eventually gave up at santa pod & started crunching every time I went from 3rd to 4th. It's a rebuild I'm afraid 4th gear synchro needs replacing, or get a rev 3 gearbox as it has stronger sychro's in the first place. I'm sure Peter can sort you out with a refurb ...

Re: Just found a hole in my floor =(
There a small hole behind each seat they have rubber bungs in originally, it looks like one of them to me. My car is completely stripped out other than the seats & I pushed the bungs out so they act like drainage holes for any water that was sloshing about on the floor

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Boost Problems! 1995 Rev 3 Turbo
The dump valve won't go off properly if there's not enough boost to open it. Does the car idle ok? could be a vacuum hose or even a leaking dump valve I had the latter with a cheepo ebay ssqv so binned it

Re: Just a quick question
I just siliconed my roof on never take it off anyway and not a single drip comes in. To be fair tho I have not carpets & have removed the bungs out the floor under the seats so didn't fill the car up with water at least now I can pressure wash the inside

Re: 4th gear synchro's can you still get them?

Re: 4th gear synchro's can you still get them?
Superb Bob will get back to you if or when I need it. Jim changed the clutch less than 5000 miles ago & was filled with MT90 then & the car gets a lot of abuse, track days, drag racing etc so I'd rather just fix it than cover it up as I'd be gutted for it to let go completely when I needed i...

4th gear synchro's can you still get them?
As above really got a slight crunch into 4th gets worse above 3000 rpm it doesn't pop out once it's in & runs silently apart from that but having had a look though numerous Google pages read that the 4th gear synchro was no longer available. Oh yeah it's a rev 2 turbo lsd box thanks in adavance
