Stupid fwd style gearboxes

[No Crust Racing]

Solid progress on what is a fun job given not all of us have hoists and cool gear to help

[Hadouken]

Hoist would be nice. But it's not so bad on the ground.

Is the repair of the box something you can/want to attempt yourself? Or off to a shop? 

[Hadouken]

It's kind of shit gig to get the 6 speed rebuilt not many people want to do them.

They were never meant for track work. I was going to get the whole thing rebuilt while it was off to the shop, but I've been advised by a few shops to not bother.

So I'm putting a brand new 5 speed box in.

[No Crust Racing]

Brand new 0_0 Big spender!

Nice work, I know SFA about Evo's but even I've heard the 5spd is the stronger box.

Could it potentially mean less gear changes and faster as a result with the wider ratios? Or does it work the other way? 

[Hadouken]

Price difference between rebuild and 5 speed is minimal. In for a penny in for a pound.

And problem with 6 speed rebuild is that you can't get new 1-2 synchros.

I suppose we'll see if it shaves time off.

[No Crust Racing]

I feel you re parts availability. 

Thankfully the US still has a good Supra following so I can get my parts that way when the time comes. 

Good luck

[Hadouken]

It's not availability. The story goes: Mitsubishi didn't think that parts were necessary for 1 2 synchro. You can buy the whole assembly that includes the synchros, but it costs $1500 + lol.

So it's better to go 5 speed. Especially in the long run.

Upgraded synchros are plentiful for them.

[No Crust Racing]

Ahh, makes sense. 

Hope it's a smooth swap.

And didn't I advise of the billet hollow tube from PPG about 10 pages ago?

[Hadouken]

Not the reason why it's stiff to select gears between 3rd and 4th. Something to do with a selector spring or something breaking off.

You have to disassemble a fair amount of the box just to put that tube in.

It isn't a 5 min job and needs to be done by a workshop.

Shit go. I have a 6sp lying around from my build if you want an inexpensive fix - shoot me a PM if you reconsider the 5sp.

[Hadouken]

Thanks man. But I think it's to late haha.
