heya, i enquired the other day about the price of a gearbox kit for my n/a 5spd gearbox and i was basically told that its cheaper to put a short shift kit in then buy the kit i was intending to. Basically i was just intending to replace the syncros and the bearings, but whats the difference if i get the short shift kit instead? thanks in advance Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

who was that going through theres a place in epping called race shift heres there number give em a call there really good on prices and evrything 94083978 who did you go though

lol i just asked at autobarn, yet to be quoted anywhere else yet, i thought i'd ask here first to see what im getting myself into

they are 2 different things. A rebuild kit will have all the seals and bearings, synchros are extra if you need them, but they should be able to lap yours back in unless they are really stuffed. A short shift kit is just a short throw shifter, makes for quicker gearchanges, but that has nothing to do with rebuilding the box. you dont even need to remove the box to fit a short shift kit.

so a short shift kit has no bearings in it etc? could he have gotten confused, as im also purchasing a clutch kit???

someone at autobahn get confused! nah id never believe it.....

lol thats an example of a rhetorical question Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
