Hi Chuck
I have in the past bought a master rebuild kit for a gearbox, (in the UK)
the synchro rings were visibly of a lower quality than the originals, we
kept the originals! Others gave this advice to me recently when I posted a
question about the A type O/D. (I wasn't planning on changing anything other
than bearings, but people don't want to let you make a mistake like that so
they send the info anyway! this list is gooood!) It is real easy to make a
list of the bits needed, I just did this for my 2.5PI lots of places don't
even sell the gaskets as a kit as they no longer come that way, half a dozen
gaskets at 60 pence each.
You won't get the thrust washers as a kit as these are selected for size
according to the freeplay on each gearset.
Whatever you do FIT A NEW CIRCLIP to the main shaft if you remove the old
one. If you are not going to disturb the gearsets I would leave the
original. I would get a circlip just in case the original is accounted for
in the filings stuck to the magnet!

| I've just purchase a spare transmission for my wife's 70 spitfire. I plan
| to rebuild and swap it in, the current unit has a bad 3rd gear syncro.
| Here's the question, do any of the suppliers sell a master rebuild kit,
with
| all the bearings, thrustwashers, syncros and gaskets?
|
| Thanks
