  1. Hi all

    I'm going to rebuild my 265 gearbox next week.

    Question is, does anyone want me to do a thread on this ????

  3. Ian, even though I'm currently running an R26, I avidly read your posts. There's probably many people like me who are very interested in everything that you're up to.... So, yes please mate....... [emoji3][emoji106]

  4. I did a 225/R26 a couple of yes ago but i didn't take any notes or pics as it was a learning curve for me at the time, the Mk3 gearbox is a lot easier to strip, the mk2 one was a pig of a job.

  5. I wish I was as handy as you with a set of spanners Ian!
     
  6. be interesting see cost of this

    if can remove, split and replace gears/syncros yourself should be cost effective as long can measure which parts are worn etc

    otherwise its £650 for complete refurbish box
     
  7. I have already bought all the parts, all the bearings and seals will be replaced along with the 3rd and 4th syncro hub and 3rd gear gear.
    i will put up the part numbers of the bearings and seals i bought when i start the thread.

    You ever think of changing FD Ian?
