So let me start with a few pics of my gearbox rebuild on the 996Mk1 CS.... What started as a refresh of 2nd and 3rd gear synchros has become a little more serious. A bit of a while you're in there, scope creep kind of thing.......🙄 Anyway, all new bearings, steel synchros, some new gears, shift fork, a 3.89 crown wheel & pinion in place of the 4.0 Cup Car ratio that was in there, plus a new LSD, clutch plate, pressure plate, throw out bearing, clutch for blah blah! Eye watering cost, but do it once, do it properly....... Hey @Cam Arnott what made you decide to loose the 4-1? SS 3 and 911CSR 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a good mate do it for me, he used the original cushions, Petita cloth and leather for headrest from Daley's. https://www.daleys.com.au/ tomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Peter Two things - One was that I wanted a slightly taller ratio. The other was the higher wear factor in that the 8:32 ratio of the 4.0 - the 4.0 r&p wears faster than the 3.89 from the because the 4.0 has an even tooth count that causes accelerated wear as the ring teeth hit the pinion teeth at the same spot every revolution. 3.89 solves that problem with an uneven tooth count. Probably not a biggie in a road car vs a Cupcar but I only wanted to pull the box apart once! TwoHeadsTas, 911CSR and Peter John 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
