No they cannot. Bearings are no longer available for anything other than the diff and iirc 1st and 2nd gear syncros cannot be bought anymore as regal and cav16 have apparently ran out of stock of them.

Yeah I tried to source some parts to rebuild mine. Could only get syncros for 3rd through to 6th as they are the same ring. 1st and second are different and have been un-buyable for a year or so now.

Well its prob not down to them. Regal just won't have told them to change the advert. Either that or they still want you to phone up so they can con you into buying something else.
Although Regal are far cheaper for 3rd through to 6th than Cav16.

Thats a bit shit, surely there is non-vaux people that still make the parts?
Surely you can get the right size bearings to fit, there won't be "special" sizes for gearboxes.

video of the fwd final which meant i got one of these
so that was cool. my mate slick got a 12.31 in it which isnt bad considering he has hardly driven in. i got a new personal best of 12.01 so quite happy indeed. so so close to an 11 now its painful.

the scottish lot are proper spot on. never met nicer people. nobody seems to care, and everyone wants to help if they can. crail is a great place for things like that. was a great day.
