reconditioning a W50 box? Prices??? Thu, 22 August 2002 12:30 Go to next message
How much would it cost to do a recondition on one of these box's(out of an RA28 ) My bearings are gone, so i'll need that replaced obviously. Just a rough estimate please. I've been told >$500. would that be about right? Anyone had it done??- What actually gets replaced in the reco.?


Thanks
Ben

They sell for more than $300. How about $200 including postage?

yeah that sounds reasonable, but i'll have to pull the box out first and find out for sure that i need new bearings. I was only told that they sound like they're gone, not positive though. I Will know in about 2 weeks whether i need it or not, so i'll give u a yell if i do,
thanks

Just order a synchro kit from auto 1 etc
then pull all the bearings out and go to a good bearing shop
they should have most if not all of what you need
cheap way to do it

how much do u reckon a synchro kit would cost? At work at the moment so i can't ring any of the auto places.
Would it be better to reco. this box, get another W50 thats in good nick and see how it holds up, or get a W57 box and modify my custom centre consol and mount points to make it fit? I'm just after a box that'll withstand 300HP @wheels and do so reliably. Also cost is a problem too, i dont want to pay more than $500 for the box and any mods that need to be done to it/my car to make it fit. I'm getting a $560 clutch and flywheel so that'll put the amount of money i'm putting into the box alone to be almost or over a grand. Any recommendations?


Thanks
Ben
