Thats the special price and I only have one left for that much.
IT`d cost that much to crack your box open and get it put back together.

Catch the bus?

Dave

i still am. i sick of vpt its the crappest thing on this damn earth. i have to leave my house an whole hour earlier than i need to be there to get on a tram then a bus to be on time to work. its crap house! it takes 10mins to drive there.

but seriously...how much is a syncro worth? i can do the build myself. or give it to my mate to do at tafe...as he is doing manual transmission rebuilds.

Can you just trash the car in first gear then skip second and jump in to 3rd?

Wata smart guy, i ment thrash it till you get it fixed, it would beat taking public transport.

Your man at Tafe will have to take note of what he does when he strips out 5th gear to take note of adjustments as it can be adjust in the box and if it is wrong it will jump out of 5th!!! 2nd gear the most common gear for this. HOw bad is it mate????????? The reason i ask is i had a Polo gti crunch 3rd every time up or down the box. drained the oil and replenished with Redline MTL which has better friction properties. Try it mate for the sake of $70 might extend the life a bit. Failing that the box is not too bad if you know what you are doing

I reckon I have some new second gear syncros and possibly a set of diff bolts in my shed somewhere that belong to evorobin.

Shoot him a PM

He might not want them as he got another box.

ok cool...yeh i may try this sounds like it could work i was told the new polo boxes were crunchy

it is bad shifting down and up at any rpm...

yes i fully understand that and i was being sarcastic...did you not realise? hmmm what ever...the box isn't in the car. so i wanted some insight on how to fix the problem not how get places.
