18 spline 4 speed recomendations? - 11/13/08 01:02 AM
I read something about having some of the gears "faceplated". What does that mean? My car will be 99% street driven so I'm pretty sure I don't want it "pro-shifted" or anything that would affect normal driving. About the only failure I ever had with this trans was a broken 3-4 fork. Does anybody make a stronger, better fork? Would it be advisable to replace the synchros, blocking rings, and sliders? (It's a 1968 box and mostly original.) I've heard some of the new replacement bearings are no good and won't last. Is there a source for good quality bearings? I like the old borg and beck style clutch too. Does anybody make that style of clutch with a button type disc? I don't really want a double disc and I figure the button type would probably stand a little more (occasional) abuse. Thanks!
