Guy's,

Is there any way of assessing the state of a gearbox, ie synchros ect, when it is out of the car? The obvious answer is strip it down, but that is not an option, as the seller might get a tad miffed if i start stipping his box before he see's the colour of my money!!
Any thoughts/help as alwaays very much appreciated.

Regards,

Steve

drain the oil and look for lots of swarf in it. Other than that...not really that I know of.
Otherwise leave a deposit and have it sent (cough cough) to a reputable mechanic for assessment if you want to go that route.
I'm sure if you left your licence number and contact details it would help coax the seller into trusting you...
approach it more like a pre purchase inspection...
