    So you decided not to retire the 5 now since you done your 12 at pod day?

    I'll come along too, haven't been to a night racing event in a while

    scoff u may have looked at this idea before so dont shoot me lol

    on the synchro rings if u remove every other 'tooth' it enables a smoother gear change.

    just a thought for u .

    sorry if off topic

    Hi dave

    don't worry, you're more likely to teach me stuff about gearbox's, I know nowt, always left that to the pro's... I read about removing the teeth, problem is, I don't understand how they work anyway ? I can't find a single decent explanation telling me why that works. I would like to understand the synchro's better.

    wudnt be abe to teach u much mate,
    its just something that the boys in time attack are doing i also read it in a jap mag i think.

    i think its along the lines of less teeth, less friction, and quicker engagment.

    instead of getting say 50 teeth in to 50 slots
    u only put 25 teeth in to 50 slots
    sort of

    ill try and find the article i read
