Gearbox differences

[shakey_hand_man]

Couldn't find an answer anywhere, but other than the gear ratio's does anyone know if there are any other differences between the TL-024 and -031 gearboxes?? improvements etc

Thanks in advance Andy

apart from ratio dont think theres any internal difference - dont think dealers can even tell if better synchros have been fitted to a box - only way would be to get as new as possible

yeah wasn't sure if the synchro design had been revised

well thats what i have asked on numerous occasions even to parts and dealer staff and no one seems to know!!!!

apart from a few mentions on here from a couple of owners that have the boxes rebuilt there is no "hard evidence" that the synchro are "different"...

i have a spare box but dont at the moment have the time to strip it to have a nosey (it is an early box) - i have had a look on the parts system for the synchro rings/baulk rings and theres 2 types in the box on the parts list i was sent...

I see on high rev hondas they fit brass synchros and sometimes even carbon. Is this maybe a possibilty for the TL boxes when rebuilding?
