my hats off to you for building a g'box yourself, i wish i had the balls to do it

Gearboxes are easy, once you work out how to take apart/put back together and what to look out for.

The Gearbox kit from Minispares actually looks like a pretty good deal .. . .

Hmmm I wonder if its time to rebuild "ol whiney" yet .....

Kev, that kit with a comp pin should be all I need for a rod-change box ?
Would it include the actual rod-change shaft seal ?

Comparable prices to our mates at Karcraft ?

Hmmmmmm

No such thing here really. Need to buy the bits separate.
PM Mike- he priced the exercise, then brought the kit in.

Karcraft do a bearing kit (4 synchro boxes) for $140 but that excludes the idler and diff bearings, and everything else you will need.

Gee it only doubles the price....

Dunno if i can justify - the extra for the little gear ratio change.....
is it really THAT much of a difference ?

we're talking budget here.. 'ol whiney is making me nervous thats all .....

Probably hardly worth $$$ really, although Mike did it.

Gee, thanks Kev, thanks for the reassurance.

James the difference in terms of your driving experience is not quite negligeable but is not drastic by any means (or maybe Kev just kept the 22g1040 cluster and told me its in ). But I did get the conversion kit for free (long story) so it was either to go into my ever growing "to be sold one day" pile or into the car - and that pile is begining to stink and attract small rodents quite frankly, also children get lost inside.

My reply to Stuartminidlx had all the prices in it - dont have a copy as my PM outbox was full - but maybe he can post it.

Mike, Stuartminidlx didn't take the bait and post the prices. do you think you could oblige with some details?

cheers
Kevin.
