I have been givin the opportunity to get a manual conversion off a mate but he said 2nd gear is stuffed and thinks it needs new syncros. How expensive and hard is this job??

If your not sure about how to do it, then don't, get someone who does.

You can never really tell until you open the g/box up. Maybe worth it, but you'd need to pick it up pretty cheap - then at least if there's more wrong with it, you can use that g/box for spares on another.
But as mentioned, get someone who's had some experience and knowledge to have a look at it.

Its easy, when you have the right tools, and correct workshop/servicing manuals for the gearbox.
But if you dont have all that as said a professional workshop or someone who has done it before is your best bet. Get the gears crack tested too, you can do it yourself aswell with dye penetrants etc.

Well i can get it for a box of Bacardi. My uncle is a mechanic and very experienced with all that sort of stuff so he knows how to do it all. I was just wondering if it would be worth it after buying the syncros and he said about putting a kit ofsome sort in it while the box was apart so it would pretty much be a reco box. Would it be easier to just find a good box??

I say pick it up and have a look. I managed to pick up an overhaul kit, for basically a box of barcardi, for my gearbox. Gotta love the quokka.
Any body know what these are worth new? |
