Hi Everyone, Well, first things first...I think I found out why both 2nd and 3rd gear synchros went at the same time on my gearbox. When I replaced my clutch, I refilled my gearbox with GL5-rated oil...and as I've found out, that will deteriorate the brass and bronze in these old Triumph gearboxes fairly quickly. I've purchased a good used 3-rail 4-synchro gearbox from a '71 Spitfire MkIV. As a matter of course, I've decided to rebuild it before I drop it in my '70 Mk3. I haven't received it yet, so I don't know if it needs anything beyond ordinary service items for the rebuild. Is there a standard list of items one would buy before embarking on a rebuild?
Thanks! Adam PS -- I've already ordered a case of Redline MT90 GL4 gear oil for the new gearbox. __________________________________ Yahoo!
