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

Post by b4nk51e »

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

Not worth going to some quality gearbox oil first?

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 it most :thumleft:

There will be more than just the one part you will need.

The two boxes I have built with only some new bearings and bits have cost about £650 each in parts.

Ouch quite cheap then!!! Could get a second hand box but have the same problem within a week. Do it properly do it once thats my motto but dependant on what wrong maybe cheaper to get a box from rogue. I'll whip it off & get it looked at first then make a decision from there thanks for the info bob

If memory serves correct there is a cheap second hand tubby non lsd box for sale in the traders section on here...

Combining bits from both of the gearboxes you could probably have a perfect LSD one for a lot cheaper :thumleft:
