Yes, you can use the full synchro gearbox but you will have to shorten the driveshaft (or use one specifically made for that gearbox. When the synchro for first gear was added, the gearbox was lengt

Joe, read the original message again. The second gearbox is a "KC" gearbox. If unaltered on the inside, etc., that means it's a GT6 gearbox, and in most cases the ratios simply aren't suitable for th

greg, you are right. there is no clutch adjustment in this manner. the slave is self-compeensating. length of rod only pushes piston further, not piston pushes rod further. ted -- Ted Schumacher TS I

Hi, I have a struggle everytime I try to put my 1980 Spit in reverse, also when I try to downshift into second gear the gear grinds unless I am going under 20. Is thsi a sign of transmission trouble.
