Dual Cone 2nd Gear

[NJGSX96]

Just curious... the dual cone syncro upgrade along with the 2nd gear and hub/slider.... is that a custom build part or is that a part found in later DSMs? Thought it was found in the 2G transmission, but looking back, my 96 GSX had a single blocking ring with slant cut teeth. Unless it is from 97-99 they did this? I can easily just buy the kit from BM or TRE, but I'd like to save some money wherever I can and since most "upgrades" are just recycled parts from different years, I figure I can get the same parts from the dealer for less so I'd rather do that.

Also, the syncros some shops sell as upgrades... are they really upgrades or are they just 97-99 syncros?

Anyone knows the answers to these questions, I'd really appreciate it.

I'm pretty sure it's a custom built part. I haven't been able to find it anywhere but TRE, but that doesn't really say much. Any way, order it early. It takes a while to get in touch with them.

I bought the 2nd synchro and steel forks from TRE, and they are pretty slick. The steel forks TRE offers have brass wear pads instead of plastic (they will last a LONG time); and the second gear synchronizer just drops right in. I have seen the double synchro stuff in semi trannys. It's the only way to synchronize very heavy shafts and parts.

I should be done rebuilding the tranny today.

Yeah, I just rebuild a spare tranny with TRE parts and they are real sweet and I am happy with everything. I am just trying to save a couple bucks when I rebuild the one in the car. Seems to me that most of the "upgrade" parts are just the better OEM parts from various years. maybe even a JDM part thrown in. I am sure he has his custom gears machined, but the rest I am not sure of.
