RB20DET gearbox (needs help...)

[dangerous_daveo]

Ok, due to my decision to buy an RB25 gearbox Im going to have to get rid of the RB20 one I have now.

Reason for sale/condition of box: front and rear seals are gone, I belive I can get these replaced due to the box still being under warrenty, I spoke to the shop today, they seem happy to do so. The box is still under warrenty from January this year when the seals, and all bearing, and the 5th gear selector fork were replaced receipt for this. HOWEVER, I shall not lie about this, It would seem the gearbox has a lazy syncro or two, thinner oil SHOULD help solve this problem while cold, (ie superlight shockproof by redline, its apparently as thin as auto box oil, IE thin). Once the gearbox is warm, it is as smooth as a babys bum. So put bluntly, it needs either a new syncro, or thin oil to stop the crunch it has atm. That said it might be something else, and you could get lucky and pick up a cheap box with no problems. I just dont wish to waste anymore time and money on it.

Where: Logan, in the car atm, so if anyone is quick they can 'test drive' the box. After that it will be at my mechanics for as long as I can leave it there.

Included: whatever I dont need to do a gearbox conversion. Should be more than enough for anyone doing a straight swap.

The box would have about 120 000kms on it by now, there abouts.

Finally price: $350.00 ono. And Im open to offers, really I have no idea what its worth, but put it this way, thats half of my orginal outlay for my half rebuild. THIS NEEDS TO GO ASAP to help fund the new box.

Contact me via PM or email [email protected] Im on here most nites so I should be able to reply ASAP to any questions.

Thanks Dave.
