Wow do I disagree!!!!!! My '74 Spider had its transmission rebuilt years
ago--along with lightening the gears. I've driven it all over the place, raced
it at real tracks many times, repainted it, and still drive it whenever the
weather is nice (to race, I had to have a roll bar too high for the
top--soooooooo no top!). No grind, no miss, no problem.
Get it rebuilt correctly, learn to double clutch if you are not yet expert at
it, and it will last forever and ever!!!!
Best regards,
Alan Lambert

Subject: [alfa] '86 Looking for good engine & transmission - Spider Veloce
My synchros are gone between 1st & 2nd, and I'm debating on a rebuild. Also
when I had a compression test of the engine, the numbers were all over the
map. I'm in Nassau, NY (near Albany). (I also need the center console, but
I
can by one at IAP). Any help would be appreciated. (OK, I ask myself 'why I
didn't do this in the winter?'!!!)

Rebuild? Why?
TADT
You can rebuild it but it would turn out the same in the end: those go.
Shift by ear and you will be okay. Some usually skip 2nd anyhow. Heel and
toe.
Compression is not likely to be identical across the cylinders, but it
should be quite close. If you see 4 wildly different readings, something is
amiss. Probably more than one thing. Do you have good compression
anywhere?
Moral: forget about the trans synchro and concentrate on the compression.
