malcolm Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 (edited) Im having slight difficulty getting into third when down shifting from rapid momentum and suspect the synchro(s) are on the way out. any recommendations for a top class transmission mechanic? I can take the gbox out.

malcolm Posted May 31, 2016 Author Share Posted May 31, 2016 I have Brodie.......I'm quite familiar with shift forks, shift drums, lay shafts, main shafts, gear sets of a manual transmission but no synchro experience. Wonder if I could take a crash course between now and winter.........never to old to learn Quote '21 Macan GTS PDK Miami Blue/Black, 7k kms '93 928 GTS 5 speed Polar Silver/Linen, 192k kms '88 928 S4 A/T Black/Ivory, 190k kms '09 Cayenne GTS Tiptronic Nordic Gold/Black, +336k kms '88 928 S4 A/T Red/Champagne, 110k miles (US car) Link to comment
vr6tee Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Syncros just slide on once the gears are off. I don't think there are any transmission shops locally that will touch our transmissions. I asked South Centre for a quote to install my diff as they should have the factory tools for pre load and back lash, they said they can't do it, that they just buy a new transmission of the diff requires replacement. I then called Reigel and said he'd get a quote and call back..... Never did. I'll end up pulling it apart and doing it myself. Quote Link to comment
