2nd gear synchro?


Yep

is this a common issue with the T50 gearbox? I'm having trouble shifting to the 2nd gear (gets stuck). possible symptom of the saame issue?

It's a common issue with these gear boxes i believe.
Best to have a spare one.

Got the first 2 hayashi's polished:




They look pretty nice i think

[heshan]

man those hayashi's that beautiful.. wht's the tire size on those?

[The Doctor]

don't forget that the youngest T50 gearbox is allready 22 years old and has a lot of milage done. Also you downshift to 2nd whenever you into a bigger turn (so that gets the biggest beating).

And teh T50 isn't the best box in the world..

Combining that, you can get problems after a few kilometers.

W50 + John Barnes bellhousing!

[heshan]

what about the W58 mate? hard to find? can the same bellhousing be used?

[The Doctor]

W58 sits behind the Supra MA70 N/A i believe, don't know about the bellhousing. Not super rare, bot it ain't a VW gearbox, you find on any streetcorner

Tire size is 225/50/15

Love the AE86 mate, what brand/make are those flares?

[heshan]

wouldn't having wide tires kill the "sideways movement" ?

Flares are JUBRIDE one's.

Some really crappy pics with the polished Hayashi's:






Need to get out for some better pics.
Also i still have to find time to install my ARC induction box and fresh valve covers.
