Now I have removed the engine ready for a rebuild, is there anything I can do to the gearbox in terms of inspection or recon? I\'m only asking as I have never started the car as I bought it already blown so I don\'t know the condition.

Should anything go wrong in the future, can the gearbox be removed without having to take the engine out? (Or am I being a retard)?

Thanks,

Mark.

Thanks Rich,

Is it worth leaving it as it is although I have never tested it, or do you recommend checking it out now?

I only know a few people who\'ve \'killed\' them (inc. Geff and he doesnt really count :)), I think they\'re pretty hardy...

5th synchro is a common problem but its just a bit annoying rather than time to replace it...

OK,

Thanks Rich, I\'ll leave it alone then. Spend money elsewhere!
