[Fot] Steel Syncro's

[yellow04]

Most gearboxes I assemble these days have good, used OEM syncros 
installed, I have been having good results doing that. I did put a set 
of the Bastuck (German made) syncros in my Stag street car, the gearbox 
shifts fine but I don't drive that car even remotely aggressively. I 
didn't realize anybody was having issues with those German syncros. Am I 
missing something?
