ive got a gearbox in bits at the mo and it needs some bit doing.
while its out ive been looking at the gears and the synchro teeth on the gear have had the tips ground off of them.

can i grind the teeth back to a point? and how can i do it? im guessing they will be too hard to do it by hand? and will it need balancing after?

No you can not repoint them. If the dog teeth are that bad theb replacement is the only option.

stu21t

parts from this box are not easy to get hold of, and all are old, cant get new parts so could get bits just as bad.

how come i cant clean them up?

Have you asked Stu Harding?

Assuming this is the UN1

stu21t

not asked any1 yet dan, only just got this apart to have a look.
i was told by some1 else i can file the teeth.
yea its a un1 for the 5

danb21t

I heard on the grape vine that the UN1 syncro does not like fast shifting.. so slow down LOL

Get onto 21toc and message Harding, he can get the parts and is probably your best bet for anything to do with the UN1.


You got that solid input shaft yet?

stu21t

they dont like high revs, unless you are replacing internal parts designed to work at high revs lol
i will let u know more when im allowed lol.


not done the input shaft i got bored of spendin money on the car and have had a bit of time out. spent all my time and money partying and doin my house up instead.
im planning on spending next weekend getting it sorted tho.

danb21t

investment in the house is probably a wise idea..

..get it fixed then take me out for a ride!

get up to Ace Cafe

stu21t

when its back up qnd runnin ill let u come out for a play.

house is worth it but partying is more fun lol

Give Tony at Geartech a ring on 01299 251261 and he may be able to source a replacement for it.

As for filing it it would further weaken it and make it more prone to wear. Have tried it on many diffrent boxes.for customers and they all complaimed afterwards.

stu21t

Ok, you obviously know your stuff, i have another box to pull apart anyway so will check that out first but will ring if i get stuck.
Thanks for the help.

Stu,

I am in Sittingbourne and if you need any help just let me know. My old mans company recondtions gearboxes and I grew up helping him, hence why I know what I do.
