coza Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Hi Has anyone on here worked on the v160 or know where to scource parts? And do the synchros stay with the gear so you can't change them ? Much help appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Massey Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Are you on faceache? There is a guy on the selling pages, Arnout or something like that who rebuilds the boxes and has many spares and even had new gears made up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jellybean Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Arnout Van Der Kamp in SupraSport http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?339919-V160-gears The gears are pretty expensive, here is a breakdown on the current pricelist: 1st gear: 500 USD (limited to 5 units right now, all original OEM Toyota) 2nd gear: 750 USD billet unit 3rd gear: 375 USD (limited to 10 units now, original OEM Toyota) 4th gear: 750 USD billet unit Billet shifter sleeve (sleeve only, no hub): 460 USD each Billet forks 220 USD each I will give discount as follows: 2 gear combo: 50 USD discount 3 gear combo: 100 USD discount 4 gear combo: 200 USD discount all gears can be combined (you can also buy 4x second gear for example) if you buy sleeves combined with gears: 20 USD discount per sleeve if you buy synchro kits (225 USD for a kit) combined with gears also 20 USD discount per kit If you buy billet forks combined with gears, also 20 USD discount per fork Just send me your order and I will send a proformo on paypal and we can go from there. I will try to give discount as much as I can! Bare in mind after discount I am selling for cost. The prices are applicable for V160 AND for V161. I currently only have V160 gears in the making and I will ship next week or week after. If we agree for V161 gears, I will ship those at a later date (details in PM). For the technical guys out here. The gears are made out of 17CrNiMo7-6. We machined them first, laserwelded the synchro portion on it, then hardened them and then post process (grinding) them to specs. The hubs we made out of Toolox steel. I am also offering rebuild service. If your box needs a rebuild contact me. If you don't have a core, I have currently about 6 V160 and 2 V161 to rebuild and sell to you, so a core is NOT required. I can build the box to your specific need, so with or without billet parts. Full overhaul or just repair the main issue. Shipping from me to wherever is very affordable as I have an excellent deal with FedEx. If your box needs to go to me, we gotta work something out (I dont have very good deals on overseas incoming shipments). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 (edited) I've seen jacks transmissions sell synchros can these be changed and not the whole gear ? Get your transmission people to show you. In manual `boxes the gears usually have a synchromesh cone machined on them, with locking teeth. Then there's a separate floating synchro hub with detents. Then a synchro cone on the hub that engages the cone on the gear, to match the gear's speed to the shaft and then mesh the synchro hub to the gear and shaft. The gears themselves don't slide and are in constant mess in this type of gearbox. So yes, wear may very well mean you need gears, hubs and synchro rings. These `boxes can be mega expensive to rebuild properly and they are now old, and probably they have been through a few "let's play drag racing at Santa Pod, oops, that sounded nasty..." owners hands. I have rebuilt a couple, when bits were freely avilable, and there's one part where even my huge press failed to separate it from its hub, and it had to be cut apart, meaning another expensive part that was actually OK, but needed to come off to finish disassembly. The R34 Getrag has a similar issue with this part... Price bearings up, and their availability, too, many manual `boxes use "bastard size" bearings with one dimension odd ball so you have to go to the manufacturers of the `box for them, if they are no longer obsolete.

jazz1 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I sent mine to Jacks Transmission had a full stage 3 with the synchro's changed, few people have and are happy. Their complete process is superb and the box now looks like new.
