What is the cause of this or is it down to my sedate driving style ?
btw Its from my MKII RS2000 4 Speed box (3rd and 4th synchro)
Gearkit is a Tran-X s/c c/r

its just a general wear thing m8 , the brass synchro rings are original ford parts and do not last forever , these are the cut outs for the shfter blocks to sit in , behind them goes the springs that keep the tension on the shifter blocks which in turn hold the selector sleeve in the selected gear , just werar and tear !! fit new ones all will be well !!

Burtons do these synchros in steel so may go for them as this will be the 2nd set of brass I have fitted in the last 6 months
Any thoughts on steel items £

sounds like your a bit rough on the change m8 !!
the steel ones are very expensive iirc , and the problem with them is where as the brass item sbreak the steel units just bend , i.e the teeth burr up and make selection impossible , make sure you got a good clean magnet in the bottom to catch the fillings if you do , then of course cause they dont break , the gear will then bear the brunt of the rough change !!
the solution ------
