Revhead strikes again. Thanks mate gettin one of those gut laughs where it starts to hurt.

i think synthetic was definately the cause

qik1000 - you are most certainly wrong, third gear has a complete set of teeth...............they're all lying on the bottom of the tranny.
I also blame that new fangled synthetic gear oil, it was in there 6 months and then blamo the tranny goes!!!!
I've never broken a tranny in anything, I heel and toe downshifts even in my street cars and even make sure to cleanly upshift but it has nothing to do with saving the box. It's Mr. Ego saying "oooooooh look at me, matching the RPM's , silky smooth shifts that even Fangio would marvel oh were all so impressed down here in the land of cogs!!"
errrr that and I could never afford to break anything not to mention that roadracing small bore 2 strokes rough shifting resulted in the old sky ground sky ground.
What's next someone going to suggest that bang shift ye old 56A will blow the thing out in short order......please where do these urban myths come from (side of the motorway?)

Tom

it definitely is blind love for me, no matter what my 37 year old uncomfortable impractical and defect worthy car does to me i still love her lol.

There's a cure for Blind Love.... Marrige!!

Blind love, so thats it

hehe!
There's a good chance you don't have a complete set of teeth on third gear anymore!
My bro managed to achieve this (hope your reading this Mick) in about 15 mins from a newly rebuild and never raced gearbox.
Well...I guess none of us would be here if we didn't crave garage time or possess blind love for our aging cars.

Poor miss treated me

I'v had two datsuns and 6 geerboxes in two and a half year's! do I just hav #### luck or what!?

Is this a 56A gearbox?
