Hi Jus

All the parts/workshop manuals are available from the club library, if you contact Chris Hopkins. Chris kindly sent me all relevant manuals for my S1 1.6 HF on a CD. You definitely need these!

For comparison, I have just taken photo of my gearbox plate. My car is a pure “Stradale” with piggyback box, whereas I guess yours is specific to a race/ Corsa version. Note the additional markings adjacent to the plate on your casing, as you mentioned earlier. Has anyone got experience of the latter....looks interesting!?

If you can get under the car, it will be fairly obvious from the casings which construction you have.

Charles

PS Do you have any race history for the car?

Thanks Charles. And am I right in thinking that Tanc did some work on your box recently - so it's safe to assume that if first had a synchro, then he would have replaced it if it was worn, and you wouldn't have a crunchy first still?

My S2A Land Rover is also lacking synchro on 1st (and 2nd) - so it's not a big issue for me, just as long as it's meant to be like that.
I'll get in touch with Chris regarding the parts list.
Cheers,
Justin.

Hi Jus

As I said earlier, the parts book doesn’t show a synchro on first gear for early HF(1) boxes. Have a good look when you get your copy, look at the casing construction as well as the internals, and compare to your car. You are unraveling a piece of history!

Hi Charles.
I asked Andrew at Omicron about the gearbox, and he agrees that that this version doesn't have a synchro on first. So - at least it's not faulty. I might still think about temporarily swapping it for another box though. The first gear ratio is really high, and it makes pulling away on a hill a bit of a struggle and unfortunately for the clutch in this car, there's lots of hills where I live.

Thanks for all the replies.

First gear is probably high as I mentioned before that the transfer gear could be a short ration giving an overall close ratio box. Only opening will confirm...

My 4speed S1 always had weak synchro, just lived with it. My Flavia 2000 with "big" 4speed box had crap synchro at 30000miles and weak 3rd as well. Now on 60000 and no worse, just live with it, but then I used to run a S2 Land Rover with crash box so used to double declutch

Let me know if you need assistance. Piggyback is obvious from rear of g-box casing. Input shaft splines are coarser like S1 4 speed cf later 5 speed units. Ratios can be tested with gearbox out before disassembly. Competition cars had copper clutch units. Most competition cars (1969-1974) used later 5 speed housing with homologated gears.
