where to start, had a dispute over a 1981 911sc targa with a salesman.

The problem being, the gearbox on it was slightly noisy on over-run in 2nd & also the synchro on 2nd was a bit shot.

So I tell the salesman that I was concerned about it & would need a rebuild before buying & he tells me it is straight cut box!
I got a bit pissed about this & proceeded to argue with him.

Now can someone please tell me if I have to eat humble pie over this or wether I was right to walk away?

what and steEl synchros , oh whoops ,. then it would nt be straight cut either! Most unlikely , no way.
standard synchros grow weak, end of , if therEs a rumble as well ..............ooer
Synchros £100 ish , full gear sets IRO £300 EACH SET, g box gasket set hmmmmm all variable, cud use 2nd hand parts etc + labour, plus at least 3 rd synchro .....g/box rebuild at specialist IRO £600 PLUS , thats on the optomistic side ..........

Does this look straight cut to you?
