I'm not understanding why you would do that. |

I’ve heard late synchro hubs are factory welded. But, not sure that’s what your talking about. I don’t know much about transaxles. _________________ 1973 standard, yellow, lowered, 3” narrowed front, 1600 blo-thru turbo w/single dell 15.4@86, so far

The earlier versions were furnaced brazed and can be removed. They have a larger bore than the 113 style tho. And you are refering to the hubs not synchro rings. _________________ There are no stupid questions, only stupid people,

Depends on what you mean exactly by late and early, maybe this?
You can use z3/4 hubs and synchros from a tunnel trans (late) in a split case trans (early) if you modify the early 3/4 clutch gear. This gets you the thicker and easier to find synchros, and back cut hub/ slider _________________ modok wrote:
