    no i dont think the lsd can affect the gearbox, except for maybe putting it under a little more load due to better grip from the tyres...


    yeh tony could be the selector, i dont know enough about gearboxes Click here to enlarge

    um, u sure they dont have a syncro in reverse, i'm pretty sure they do, as it goes into reverse at forward speed, it should do this without a syncro right?

    Why wouldnt you keep your LSD BR? its removeable from the box. they only have to replace the box . Sounds like something is broken in side. maybe it has chipped selector fork like Mr Corsa was saying?

    no noticable noise from the gearbox, in fact since the 60k service the motor sounds great, smooth and quiet at idle.

    and i will keep my lsd, i just dont want holden swapping out the box and not telling me, at which point i would lose it...

    forgot it was a turbo. I think they have the f23 gearbox which from memory does have a syncro. If I do end repairing it will make sure everything is spot on for youClick here to enlarge

    Was there today picking up some parts and saw it sitting in the car park. Didn't get a chance to talk to anyone about it. I built what i think was a f23 out of saab and that had a syncro on rev. Will find out for sure if I end up doing the job.Click here to enlarge
