blu260z Posted November 12, 2022 Posted November 12, 2022 Hi guys, Can anyone help me ID my gearbox before I start ordering parts. Unfortunately I have begun getting a nasty grinding shifting into 2nd gear and now it has finally reached a point where it was every shift into 2nd gear. The gearbox its self looks healthy and I believe it will just be some new syncro's. So can anyone ID my gearbox? And can anyone recommend a syncro/ rebuild kit for it ? Quote
C.A.R. Posted November 16, 2022 Posted November 16, 2022 (edited) It's a steel bulk ring, close ratio 260Z gearbox. Stew at SW Motorsport can sell you new Nissan bulk rings (synchros), but make sure you are sitting down when he tells you the price... He can also sell you the required bearings, gasket & O-rings. I'd personally convert it to brass synchros. Edited November 16, 2022 by C.A.R. blu260z 1 Quote
blu260z Posted November 16, 2022 Author Posted November 16, 2022 Thanks, I have been speaking with Stew and he is a wealth of knowledge. Lucky I was seated when I heard the price of the synchro ring. I think I will be going down the lines of either a brass ring swap or a newer r31/32 etc box. Quote
