.75 swap 95% complete

[james.david@clyde.com.sg]

Hey list,

I finally did my 5th gear swap last saturday and the revs are like a dream - on
my gutsy1.6L 8v the pick up on 5th is pretty good too.  At 3000 rpm she now does
almost 120kph and I can't wait to really rev up to about 5500rpm.

The only problem is that my synchroniser ring (copper gear) is worn out in
relation to the new 5th gear and each time I shift into 5th there is a small
'creachh' sound. Should not be too difficult to get a new one but I will have to
go thru the hassle of dropping the tranny and opening it up again.  I wonder why
Autotech do not offer the copper gear with the kit for surely others must face a
similar problem when an old gear is replaced with a new one.

btw the 'measurements' as prescribed in all the various instructions e.g. - the
5th gear tubing has to be about 5mm above etc didn't work on my tranny. When set
to those measurements I could not even engage - so had to improvise.  Perhaps I
just have a psycho tranny :-))
