With due respect to the beautiful DOHC Alfa engine, the transmission is probably the most involved and critical part of the mechanicals of an Alfa or most any car with a manual transmission. I was surprised to see that you didn't lighten the gears while you had them out. We lightened the gears on my 82 Alfa Spider and it made a wonderful difference. Super smooth, easy shifting, especially 2nd and 3rd; and 4th and 5th are like butter now. It's something Alfa should have done at the factory. Also, 9:36 is a great shot of the of the working business end of the trans. I loved watching all the new and cleaned parts go back together. It's a part of the work that I enjoy the most.

So it was a worth while upgrade? This gearbox was for a very factory correct car, but I’m doing another box soon for a more modified car, might try lighten those gears.

@@JethroBronner Yes, it was worthwhile. I have owned many Alfas and they all seemed to have a weak or damaged 2nd gear syncro, sometimes 3rd too. So, it was a whole new experience with a lightened gear Alfa trans. You can actually shift it pretty fast with no chunk or grinding or heavy resistance. It just feels so much smoother all around. If you lighten your Alfa trans gears, please do a video of it because it's very interesting to see it done and what is involved. You'll love it, no two ways about it.

Great video Jethro ! I have two Alfa's, a 1966 Duetto with a 2ltr high performance engine that I bought from a good friend who used it extensively in competition, mechanically sound but the body was in poor shape and I spent 7 winters restoring it, came out beautiful. The one I owned the longest is my 1969 1750GTV, bought it used in 1974, still drives like new. Anyway, what I was going to say is that the gearbox in the 1750 had a worn 2nd gear synchro, so I replaced it together with a few of the ball bearings, and have been using instead of EP80/90 gear oil I switched to EP75 synthetic, and that makes a lot of difference even starting out from cold in the morning. Keep up the great work, love your videos. Greetings from Canada

The kind of video I like to see when I get up. Pares well with coffee, also. My Alfa's gearbox was supposedly rebuilt, but the guy only put in a new syncro for 2nd gear. The rest he flipped around between gears and used the opposite sides of the syncros. 3rd and 5th I think. I would have paid for all new parts, but he didn't ask...first gear takes a while to slow down when shifting with engine hot. Still, it all seems to work OK, better than before. I just wish that it shifted like a fresh Getrag!
@JethroBronner5 жыл бұрын
There's nothing wrong with flipping the synchros if the one side is completely un-used, doing all new synchros would ad about $400 to the cost of a rebuild. Only changing the synchro isn't always enough, sometime you need to do new synchro operating sleeves too in order to get a smooth shift.
@jamcdona5 жыл бұрын

Aaaahhh, the sight and sound of Italian four-pot in-lines. I have toured many miles at the wheel of (at different times) a Giulietta, 124S and 132. Had a mate with an Alfasud, with whom I spent glorious afternoons blasting up and down side roads. Another mate had a GT 1600. Short fling with a girlfriend who loved her 1750 Sprint. Had a weekend dalliance with the newly-released 156. This symphony of tools here, and your previous, the 1750 seized engine, casts me adrift on a sea of poignant nostalgia. The sounds and smells of engines and happy hours in the workshop come flooding back. I have dismantled a 124S and 132 for repaint. While the 132 was bare an engine service required re-bore and outsize pistons. 1592cc to . .what . . 1750 . .? In a lightbulb moment I had a 'shop make header pipes and clean up the inlet manifold. To complete the ensemble a ZF 5-spd replaced the 4-cogger. Went through a lot of brake pads but them days in the twisties was f-u-n. Anyhoos, you could say I had a love affair with what many call 'Italian trash'. Now, thanks to you, I want an Alfa again.

My fix for my 105 GTV 2nd gear crunch was to take sychro ring from 5th, and put it in 2nd. (Teeth ok.) Going 4th to 5th was dropping revs, so zero crunch. A successful freebie.

That is a good idea. I’m going to do that with my Giulia Ti gearbox next.

@@JethroBronner The Synchos work in pairs i.e. one ring for 1/2, one ring for 3/4 and one ring for "5". If you move the 5th gear synchro, one side has never been used !

I do old Datsun and Z-cars. I still cringe when I think of doing a transmission, manual or auto. Makes me want to finally make the jump. Great video
