Sure speak to the guys at redline and they will say buy their product but ask them if they'll pay for your rebuild in 4 weeks :wave: ???
I imported some carbon coated gear synchros from the USA [Gearspeed] the last time i had a gearbox rebuild and put standard Honda MTF in and its been an absolute dream.
THANK **** SOMEONE AGREES WIT ME LOL
they r good at the low revs but put em under stress and they just break down
the people at redline oils rekon its sooo good coz thats wot their paid to say
Thanks for that, that's very insightful :)Quote:

looks like everyones had different experiences, well its been 5 days since redline went in my gearbox. keeps getting smoother everyday. my mates had it in his rex for 15k and its still as good as it was in the first week??? i cant dis it!! ill let ya know in 3 weeks if my box is in pieces! lol, i doubt it will be.
Try taking your car to the race track and see how it goes.
i will, considering my mates rex has 190kw at the wheels pulls a 12.6 down the qaurter, id be assuming his box is seeing some high revs. with a couple of gearbox changes and sincro's? maybe its not the oil letting you down? maybe its the guy on the end of the foot that presses the clutch??? or the guy on the end of the hand thats selecting gears??? lol, dunno?
so y did it happen with 2 race bike gear boxes when before they neva changed em once and after neva had to change them again...
and im assuming sneekmeister u take ur car up to the redline everytime u rev?
haha, my cars a street car A-man not a race car! it sees the redline every now and then, but no i wouldnt say everytime? how bout you? you redline everytime?
Have any of you stopped for a second and realised Honda gearboxes are completely DIFFERENT to subarus , Nissans etc...
sneekmeister, keep us posted with how it goes .. in 3 weeks time ;)
yeh im callin a truce, different applications too, street/track/drag etc etc. i dont really want to kill my gbox, im no sadist. but it seems to be doing the job. and it does feel better? so in 3 weeks if im asking where you got those carbon coated gear synchros from the USA, i hope ya can help me out ;)
peace
GET THAT IN WRITING !!Quote:
