I've got, well basically 2 f28 gearbox's. both have a knackered synchro. you can't get parts for them, or if you can its a complete struggle, and the box's themselves are becoming rare to get a good decent one. so I'm thinking spares or repair for it. seen them working order going for 250-300 on ebay (awaits someones uncle that bought one for 50p). is it worth whacking it up at say 50? see what happens?

Yeah, actually didn't they come with an LSD? Essentially the same box but I see what you're saying.

Keep them as they are rare. You can get the sycro's easy. They are the same part number as a Mitsubishi fto getrag gearbox and a dam sight cheaper than what regal used to charge. There is a thread about it somewhere on vauxsport ;-)
