Replacing syncro rings- What else to do while I'm in there??
Soon I'm going to be replacing the syncro rings on my 84 Carrera, and I have a case of while I'm in there syndrome. I was wondering about some other upgrades I could do while I'm in there. I was thinking the wevo internal gated shifter and the coupler. Does anyone have any other ideas? Thanks,
Tommy |

If you are doing the rings because 1st or 2nd grinds you will also need the syncro teeth on the crunchy gear(s) and probably the 1-2 slider.If 3 or 4 are problematic add a 3-4 slider and 2 rings if 3and4 are OK now just new rings for them 5th rarely needs anything other than a ring. I have heard good things about the wevo products but have no first hand experience.

Only things I can think of are add a cooler, LSD. Oh there is some reinforcing plates for the diff and some other reinforcing plate that Wevo makes. Mostly geared toward the racers I believe.

Actually the car just plain will not go into second gear. Third gear grinds occasionally, and fourth and fifth are fine. I can't go into first unless I'm at a complete standstill, is that normal?
Thanks, Tommy |

You probably need 1 and 2 dog teeth, 1/2 operating sleeve(1/2 slider ) and 1st thru 4th syncro rings add 5th ring for good measure and a gasket set and 2 new mainshaft lock nuts All fairly typical

I am about to do the same on my 79 SC.
My problem is that in a certain rev range (from about 4 - 5 thousand) the second gear grinds (shifting from the first). I have no problem inserting the first when the car is moving or inserting the 2nd from the 3rd etc. I have already bought the 2nd synchro ring (this needs to be changed anyway) and I think the rest will be obvious when we open the transmission... Should I get anything else which definitely needs to be changed? PS What causes the 5th gear to whine? |
