Gearbox???

Redline does make them shift nicely, but thin oil's aren't necessarily good. O.K under normal driving conditon's, and the odd quick change here and there. But not good for circuit or where the gearbox will see high operating tempertures.

got a qoute.. $3900 all up to fix my box.. i took off all the teeth on 2nd gear.. lol worth it? bcuz the parts from honda cost 1800 alone. includes gearbox out, taken to specialist, install, then gearbox back in.. and i dun remember what else there was

You are right, Redline MTL might not be ideal for track or racing purposes, was told to use Redline super lightweight shockproof but i pass on that as my FD is use as a daily grocery getter.

You've got insane S2000 parts finding ability.

ok so i finally got my gearbox rebuild

as u can c in the pictures the gears on the mainshaft got taken clean off this is the result of shifting like the world is gonna end lol as well as the missing/broken teeth on 2nd gear.

as a result the box needed a FULL reco as metal got into every nook n crany n wrecked the lot.

thanks to the good people at Hondworld they supplied and fitted all new genuine :honda: parts $2650 later :(

so well see how we go this time around

thanks to every one that helped me try to find parts and gearboxes it was much appreciated

* Next up Stage 2 puddymod diff with 4.30gears and fittment of my new Hardrace drive shaft spacers :) *

Whoo.... talk about crunchy nut!Haha.

Good to see you got it fixed. Just go easy on the gear changes and all will be fine!:thumbsup:
