Gearbox Rebuild For Rallying

[jimmer 0]

I have a few questions i hope people may be able to answer for my Be3 staight cut gearbox rebuild after i found it very notchy engaging 4th gear.

 

1. How many gear box cases are there? and which is the best one to use? I've been using a be3 but looks like the case could be used as a be1 as well as it has the cut outs for the differant clutch release is this an early case? An old mi16 case i have has no cut outs for the be1 clutch release.

 

2.How do i tell if a synchro is in good condition? I don't want to put a knackered one back in.

 

Any help much appreciated

Forum member did a gearbox strip as he was having issues with 3rd/4th synchro

i have looked at the page and its very informative but i dont think it says what to look for when checking the synchro's for wear. Thanks anyway

Easy the hub's need to have a consistant grove in them, Around 5 or 6 as I;ve never counted them, The spring clip should not be worn either as they can and do snap

8 grooves

 

knackered -

 

 

 

 

usable -

 

 

 

also look at the cup these push inside for any heat damage.
