    All synchro box

    Have a all synchro box in my 64 S3GT that's jumping out of 3rd on overrun and it looks like parts are not available. Anybody have an old gearbox I can scavenge for parts? Preferably in Ontario. Thanks.

    No Spark

    When you installed the points did you get the plastic insulator and wires in the right place ? Very common mistake. Will leave you without spark.

    64 S3 clutch master kit

    It's a driver, not a show car so it's looking more like a new master is called for. Thanks for all the replies.

    Steering wheel cover

    Mine is laced on, searched eBay and found one that fit the thin wheel. Been for 3 years now and still looks good. Sorry no photo car under cover.

    Rear differential howling

    They are noted for the ringgear bolts coming loose so would take a look, but howling all the time is probably a pinion bearing. I'm a retired mechanic of over 40 years, did diffs on Datsun 620s when I worked for them and several Dodge truck rear ends. Also worked for Roots Group in England...

    Rear differential howling

    Dose it howl when on the the gas only, or off the gas only. Or all the time driving? On or of the gas only means gear mesh. All the time means bearings, probably pinion bearings.
