Cryogenically Treating Gearbox Componants

[Shaun]

Hi,

I was just wondering if anyone has had experience cryogenically treating gearbox componants. Ive got a 3rd and 4th syncro problem atm, and may have to pull the box out. If i go for a full rebuild, i was thinking of cryoing what ever componants i can. Is this possible with the syncros or just the gears and input shaft? (i know very little about gearboxes and dont know what the syncros look like).

Im trying to handle 350rwkw through this r33 gtst gearbox and, while id love an OS gearset or similar, i just cant afford the $3500 + extra bits to buy one.

Also, everyone is going on about the Redline shockproof gear oil and its ability to reduce syncro noise etc. Is this the heavyweight you are all talking about?? The lightweight isnt recommended for syncromesh gearboxes. Are there any adverse effects of the redline??

Thanks,

Shaun.

But what about the whole recommendation thing from Redline??? Has anyone used the heavyweight oil in their box??

It just freaks me out abit if i put the lightweight in a syncromesh box. Or am i just paraniod? It wouldnt be the first time.

Paul, i pressed 9 by mistake and got "suspension enquiries". Ill try again later!
