Wink Hello, fellow '86ers
Hi
my name is Rüdiger and I'm from Germany.

The Trueno was sold to me within Germany, and now I'm happy to join the community.

The AE86 is my dream car and i love it but i needs a lot of love and care.Tongue

Hello, fellow '86ers
What about you and Stephan join me for some Swiss Alps driving together?

Welcome to the community!

Btw, unless you already organized a working headlamp switch for that car, I did bring one from Noby Booth on my recent Japan trip.

Welcome! that looks like a broken gearbox Sad unfortunate start of your 86 experience. But since it's in pieces already, I guess you'll be able to fix it!

Hello, fellow '86ers
It's just a shame that that split bearing is one of the non-standard ones in the T50. I believe Gazoo Racing might be reproducing them though, but they will be really expensive.

Also, while it's open: Install the M-Factory longer fifth, it'll make the Autobahn way more pleasant. I still have mine awaiting install, but haven't collected enough motivation to take out the gearbox yet to install it.

Hello, fellow '86ers
Hey everyone,

just wanted to share a quick update. I’ve checked all the tolerances, and everything is completely stock/like in the manuel. The synchronizer rings show absolutely no signs of wear—the teeth are perfectly sharp and identical to brand-new specs. It looks like this transmission was rebuilt not too long ago.The only parts with noticeable wear were the shift forks, which I have already replaced.

As for the main issue: I suspect the bearing cage was damaged during the previous installation of the input shaft bearing, or the retaining ring was improperly seated/faulty. The ring is completely ruined. I’m currently waiting on a genuine BMW replacement part, as they use the exact same snap ring.

Also, since I won't be doing much Autobahn driving, I've decided to stay with a shorter 5th gear ratio—perfectly optimized for Landstraßen.

Will keep you posted once the parts arrive!
