: How hard is it to re-synchro a four speed tranny? My resto budget is currently being absorbed by my suspension/steering rebuild, in which i am thinking of including some new tii struts and a full brake upgrade (lots o $$). So anyways, my existing 31-year old tranny grinds both second and third gears, but is otherwise fine. Has anybody changed synchros on a four speed with success?? Any sources for gaskets/synchros/ other bits?
: Also, when I do install a fiver, i was thinking of redoing those synchros before installing it so that the fiver will last me. Im building this car to last another 31 years.
: BTW, archives had limited info here...
Hi,
I recently attemped to have my 320 5 speed rebuilt. The shop gave it back to me locked into gear claming they wern't able to fix it (when I gave it to them it went into all gears fine). Having nothing to lose I took it apart myselfe. I immeadetly found where they had screwed up. It is possible to do a transmition but you've got to have the factory manual for tolerances and how to measure them, berring pullers and a hydrolic press would help. Berrings and seals were avalible from a supplier (BMW parts). I don't know how succesful I was I haven't installed it yet.
