Im also interested in these. But how can it make the gear easier to select? My r380 box is quite slack (stick in a pot of grease). But it changes gear fantastic, lovely smooth box.

less movement between gears the throw. moves the pivot point and a spacer makes up the difference. is the lever and fulcrum

Of?
theres 2 springs on the selector housing, (one each side) tighten those up and it will be tighter

they are the bias springs ,you have to ensure you keep 3rd 4th alignment not just tighten them down

fitted one of these to my landy the other week, awesome piece of kit, gearbox feels miles better and selects gears every time, just thought I would share it with you guys
Yeah we bought and fitted one two weeks ago its great for changing gear and has helped reduce the worn 2'nd gear synchro but will replace the box when we do the chassis swap mite get one off the same guy as he overhaul's gearboxes aswell

Hmmmm looks cool. I assume you can fit it with the gearbox in situ?
Yeah, syncro posted a video of it a while ago, looks pretty simple actually. Will see if I can find it.

Shabs from Syncro is a good guy.

Cheers mate. Well my landy has a New Years present to look forward to! So simple.
Out of interest anyone got a link to that clutch spring mod you can do to TD5s?
