Cosmic73 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Hey Glen, what a great post, your Z is punching well above it's weight. My gearbox crunches in 5th so I'm going to replace it's synchro ring when I get the time. Did you fix your gearbox yourself or send it to a specialist?

G1en Posted April 10 Author Share Posted April 10 Horsham Developments did the strip down and rebuild. Think It was £1000 then whatever replacement parts needed on top. So you will save a lot doing it yourself if you can, what i will add is i can easily tell that 3rd and 6th synchro have been done as goes into those gears so easily now, just wish i would have maybe had the whole lot replaced as others are noticeably a little bit worn (but still ok) they did say its getting harder and harder to get gearbox parts now as the car gets older and i think they may have stopped producing any new synchros.

Cheers Glen, £1000 + parts is a lot. The good news is my day job is designing gearboxes so I'm reasonably confident I can do the repairs myself. Just need to find the parts!

G1en Posted May 12 Author Share Posted May 12 Took a family trip to Newby Hall Sports cars in the park event last Sunday, seems to get bigger every year. A 2 hour long tailback just to get in is testament to how many people go now. decent weather as well. Only took a few pics but gives you a sense of what's on show. Did spot a few Zeds together just as we were leaving but unfortunately was being pestered to get out by the family... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
