914World.com _ FS/WTB: 914 Parts _ Trans question about syncros

Posted by: Harpo Jan 5 2012, 04:12 PM

Here is a newby question for you. Is there a sycronizer for every gear 1-5 & Reverse? Are they all the same?

Thanks

1st is different
Reverse has no synchro

Dave........If I am not badly mistaken, the synchronizing rings are the same for all the gears.......of course the hub is different for first gear..........Jerry

I don't know, But IMHO if you rename your thread to "Transmission Question" or something closer to topic, and place it in the Garage Forum the experts will answer you directly. Or just PM Dr.Evil.

Of course your correct.

If the moderators can move this to the garage that would be much appreciated

For the 914...

* Rings the same
* Hubs 1st unique, 2nd-5th the same
* 1st has it's own brake band, anchor/stop block setup that is slightly different than what is used on 2nd-5th.
* 1st can be converted to use the same parts as 2nd-5th.
* No synchro on reverse.
