Can we get synchros locally?
Yeah, from mitsi australia. :lol:

The one's cobra sell are genuine Mitsi ones.

LSD and Bearings have arrived.

http://ftoaustralia.com/v3/viewtopic.ph ... 86#p407586

The Koyo bearings are tapered, as they are meant to be, but do they have higher power ratings?

Bennoz + RichardB - you were discussing that tapered bearings would be able to handle higher power applications. These bearings seem very solid, and are tapered on both sides. They most probably are just OEM spec?

Pretty sure it's not the diff bearings but the primary input shaft (iirc) that doesn't have a tapered bearing and is the one that wears out.

Yeah the secondary shaft and diff bearings are tapered.

Primary input shaft ones are not, which is where the problem lies.
