Andy Ven Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Morning gents, So as a quick update to put everyone in the frame- I have stripped my v160 box and i am checking my gears for wear (mainly synchro teeth). I have never dealt with synchro teeth before so i am not fully sure of whats ‘absolutley fine’ or ‘shagged’. Some of the teeth show what i would class as zero wear, yet the odd one seems to have slight wear. The only time i drove the car with this gearbox was home from when the car was purchased. (30 miles or so). It didnt seem amazingly smooth but there were no noises. Just seemed a bit agricultural and very precise. (If that makes sense) Also as a side note, does anyone have a pic of a B series (updated) v160 synchros. Here is a few pics of my synchro teeth. Please feel free to comment. (Gearbox has done 130k miles) The 3rd and 4th pics are the suspect gear / synchro which i am slightly worried about being worn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
