Hi guys just wondering if anyone has used these before? carbon lined synchros
i drive a 2000 ITR and done 135,000 on the clock and my 3rd gear is in the early stages of wear and tear. i really baby the car when driving eg i changed my first brake pads at 120,000 and still had heaps of meat on it and same goes with the clutch.
so my question is should i just order the rings only and hope everything else is in still good condition?or if not just order the rest of the parts locally? the negative of that is parts here are currently more expensive than parts from the US. or should i do whole set? rings, sleeve, spring and hubs as well? or without the hubs?
i know it is hard to tell until the transmission has been opened up, but i was hoping someone can give me a insight of what parts shouldn't need replacing.
hoping to save where i can, but since she is opened up i thought i would do all the gears 1/2, 3/4 and 5/R
what are you thoughts?
1) buy just the rings and hope for the best?
2) buy the whole set and just replace everything just to be sure?
thanks in advance for your insight!
