I am going to be rebuilding and replacing my wifes 1296 Spitfire with a 1500 lump, and since I will be pulling the engine, I was also considering fixing the problem I have had since the initial restoration of the car about 6 years ago, and that is with the synchros in the transmission. This transmission is a single rail 1975 overdrive box, and at the time I had replaced all the synchros with new. They have never been right, grinding in almost every gear unless you allow a second or two between shifts, or double clutch. Forget about fast shifting - I was really disappointed with the initial rebuild, and as such am hesitant to do it all over again, especially since I have heard similar stories with problem replacement synchros I am not about to buy new synchros and go through all the work to replace them, only to have the same problem - Has the bad synchro problem been fixed or are they all still junk??
