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 ma

one other question - looking at an exploded drawing of the tranny, I notice that it uses bushings instead of roller bearings? Is there a kit avaliable to fix this? ___________________________________

Hi Chuck. I just completed the rebuild of my tranny. The kit I bought from Rimmers was pretty complete, including all the gaskets. It included four synchro rings, the big bearings for the input shaft

Thanks for the info Vic. I had been looking in my VB catalog for the kit, but can still only find the individual pieces. Guess I'll give them a call to find the part number. I also see that in their

There something wrong with VB? As far as I know bearings are bearings. I haven't bought to many parts from them, but what I have seemed fine. This car is likely to see about 500 miles a year at most,

Nothing wrong with the parts. It's the price and the shipping philosophy that makes me shy away from VB. They charge shipping based on value not weight or actual cost. I was charged $15 shipping (UPS

Ah, that doesn't bother me much. A lot of places do it that way (including Victoria's Secret;) Sometimes you make out on the shipping, sometimes you don't. ___________________________________________

No, bearings are not all the same, by any means. Visit a bearing shop some time and you'll see what I mean. /// /// spitfires@autox.team.net mailing list /// To unsubscribe send a plain text message

Unfotunatly most are that way. Another popular place also has a price based shipping policy (I'm not going to name names). About a year and a half ago I ordered a trans clip and gasket set from them.

As Nolan suggests, all bearings are not created equal. <smile> Most bearings are available in a variety of grades. Two bearings which to the naked eye may seem identical, but are, in fact, vastly dif

Any business that doesn't make money off shipping is foolish. It's a tight line to walk though, too much and you drive customers away. Another common money maker is to mark up all cheap parts and set
