Is there no way to fit first-gear synchro to this gearbox? Is the all-synch 'box sooo different? I have a series 3, and agree the lack of synchro does detract from the driving experience, and the first gear whine makes it sound like an old Humber, not a sixties sports car. However I also have OD, which is fab, so I would only swap for an all synch if it came with OD (yeah, sure) and then I'd lose the nice ratios :-(.

By 4.55 gearset, you mean diff?
(Ya can spot a novice miles away, boy do they ask some dozey questions :-)
Cheers, Paul.
