Andy Ven Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Morning gents, I am stripping my v160 gearbox to check everything is ok, but i am also wanting to replace the synchros as a matter of course. Does anyone have any experience with synchro tech synchros. They do different grades, bronze/brass, steel/bronze, carbon, steel/carbon. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Probably best looking on the US forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike2JZ Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 If it isn't broke then I suggest you leave it alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Ven Posted February 12, 2020 Author Share Posted February 12, 2020 As much as i agree with you. The whole car is getting a restoration so it seems daft to leave the gearbox alone. Its 27 years old and has done over 100k miles, so its more preventative maintenance while everything is already in bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilkinson Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Even Jacks Transmissions in the US no longer offer full refurbishments due to lack of parts. Seems to me that if someone could reproduce parts for the V160 / V161 and offer a rebuild service, there would be a reasonable market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squiffy Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Suprasport were who I spoke to about 6 months ago about syncros and I thought they had started manufacturing their own parts? And yet somehow these boxes are pulling a premium price?! [emoji2373] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
