Good morning, hoping to get a recommendation on a transmission go-to person or shop. My project 914/6 she’ll came with a 901 with only a little bit of history. Apparently the box is in overall good condition but the 2nd gear synchro is a bit weak.

I’d like to address that now while everything is apart.

I’m also game to give it a go myself if this is something I can/should do myself.

Thanks in advance for the coaching.

Bill Brewster rebuilt our 901 gearbox very nicely. Carry in, carry out. About $2000 including at least one slider $400+ and all synchros, etc. They also made adjustments and test drove after we reinstalled for that price. Couple week turnaround, but that was a few years ago.

Or order Dr Evils video. Sliders and synchros were available from Pelican last I checked.

Ah yes, Mr Brewster. Good people, they are settling in to their new place in OR. He did a great job on my 3.2 top end.

Will order the video and give it a go.

Thanks!
