3rd gear synchro replacement how to

[Stephenvenning]

I've had quite a bit of interest how I rebuilt my gearbox. I've started stripping my other gearbox so thought I would do a how to.

I wonder if anyone would be interested in this if I decided to do one. For 3rd you won't need any special tools like a press.

A good How To guide will always be useful on the forum, it would be great if you could do one Stephen. Thank you.

Defo What about 4th? is that doable without too much work?

do it they aint that hard to strip in to major parts....:shout:

Not too hard to strip the box and the input shaft where the 3rd and 4th gear are on. That's just held together with curclip and a end nut which can be a bugger to get off. It would be worth to replace both bearings as well on the input shaft

If there was a decent how to guide I wouldn't hesitate stripping mine and refreshing the syncros in the box. There's not much that I haven't attempted.

Great idea Stephen, please do!

how did your rebuild go? Will you be going a head with a how to? Something I want to start planning for soon.
