Well, now that i finally have a V8 that makes chewbaka like noises from the tranny, i thought i would get my ebay special tranny checked out by a local guy that has done reputable work for another 914 guy.
Good news: it does have a taller 5th gear.

Bad news: 5 bad syncros, 1st, 2nd dogteeth, 1st & R shift sleeve, 2nd 3rd shift sleeve are

Anyone got some quality used tranny parts?
Also, What would be a good gearing for a V8? just the taller 5th? or 4th and 5th?
