Did you notice any difference between the 2.

I'm doing a complete rebuild and doing an O/D conversion (Brewers) was going to do 1st & 2nd syncros at the same time. I have the option of replacing the old style syncro rings (narrow slot) or replacing the whole hub assembly with the new style syncro rings (wide slot) . What are others...

Thanks. I thought that's how it would work. I guess my only concern with going that way is whether a 4th gear that is used the most and now going through the counter shaft would become a weak point. A gear that is locked on the main shaft (1:1) I would think would be alot stronger.

third becomes 1:1 not sure if that goes through the counter shaft or if its the direct gear. Can't see how you could have forth being direct as its not 1:1 so I assume would then have to go through the counter shaft.

Ha Ha I knew someone would bring that up. I'm in NZ and moved to metric years ago. I know you guys are a little behind the times:eek:. Bearing has now been clarified. No doubt I will have more questions as I do the rebuild. I have emailed Brewers as I am looking at doing the overdrive...

No Measured the bearing

Managed to get onto their site. That clarifies it thanks. Any search I did on a 308 bearing bought it up as a 40mm ID

Cant seem to access Brewers site. Not sure if their site is down.

Still having trouble being convinced on bearing size. I looked up 308 SG8 dimensions and this is what i got. A 308 SG8 bearing, often found in automotive transmissions, has the following dimensions: a bore diameter of 40mm, an outer diameter of 90mm, and a width of 23mm. My bearing is 90 OD 35...

yes it does

Thanks for that clarification. I did look on the Brewers site but they only state the outside diameter not the shaft size. I don't need to replace it but am just measureing everything and making a note of all parts I have in my trans for future reference.

Counter gear looks fine.

Just starting to research the parts in my trans and would appreciate some knowledge around my main input shaft bearing. Was trying to measure up as to whether I had a 308 or 307 bearing. From what I can gather a 308 is 90mm OD and 40mm Id. 307 is 80mm OD 35mm ID. Measured my bearing and its 90mm...

Now I just gotta get my head around what parts to buy and how to identify the correct ones.

Nothing else in there apart from the 2 teeth.
