Without baulk rings no wonder he had to go steady going through the gears.

You can drive a car with no syncro but it's all in the timing

Drove an old TX2 with a gearbox like a crash box for quite a few years

Good gearbox work is essential for a lot of lorry driving

Thanks for post Neil

Pretty impressed.

I have gotten a 3d printer few months ago. So this gives me something to aim for!

I was wondering where the quick change gearbox for my mini lathe went to 😂
3D printers are really very good for “proof of concept “ when designing things .
