    I’ve never shimmed a diff in a tl4 mate tbh.

    Parts list for Gearbox rebuild

    Go under the gear or the selector hub for 6th gear mate. You don’t need much to get the whole lot off. Just watch out for the spacer shim. It’s important that you put them all back in the same place they came from, as you will affect the shimming if not.

    Northloopcup's FKU AG200

    Today, this happened. FKU has been sold and will be residing with someone else. Was gutted to see it go, but having only covered 1200 miles in 2 and 1/2 years of ownership, it had to be done. Currently no future plans to replace the 200 as I have a 330d f31 as my daily driver. This car has...

    Crunching TL4.........*NOW WITH POSSIBLE BETTER SYNCHRO RINGS!!

    The material they’re made from and the design. I’ve seen enough of the shite steel ones with the composite material that slows the gear down for synchronisation fail.

    Mate, trust me you haven’t offended me in any way shape or form. Yes it may well be short sighted, but I have a garage full of gearboxes pretty much all the time (11 currently). You’re right I could supply them to specialists and the like, but what happens when they decide that they want to...

    Gearbox help

    Unfortunately mate I only supply if I’m fitting them as I took a risk on them working. They’re better due to the material they’re made of and the design. Yeah they’ve gone in plenty more boxes now mate as once I got confirmation it was all systems go tbh. There’s a set in a rally car that gets...

    I found some better synchros to replace the ‘uprated’ Renault items. They worked and no one was interested!!

    No mate different again as is 1st. They’re double synchromesh. No 2 synchro rings in the tl4 are the same.

    Crunching TL4.........*NOW WITH POSSIBLE BETTER SYNCHRO RINGS!!

    I’ve been around boxes for quite some time now mate, so you get a feel for what’s good and what’s not. When you can remove the coating easily of the original synchro rings with a Stanley blade, I think it’s safe to say that they’re not really the best are they! I charge £285 to rebuild the box...
