    Toyota doesn't make Getrag syncros at all. They never did. Nor did Mitsu. They repackaged and sold OE GETRAG parts. Transtar makes a generic knock-off which doesn't work as well as OEM parts. I used to run Northbend Technologies, doing rebuilds for Supercar Engineering, and later as a solo venture. Jacks still does it. NONE of us like the knock-off syncros.

    I don't have a business any more so I couldn't care less what you sell. Just be honest about it. Don't get all pissed off at me because your 'extensive research' falls apart under 30 seconds of scrutiny.
    Ohh geeze guys, I'm not pissed, however, for the life of me... you guys are mistaken! The synchros in my kits are bronze, not brass. Again, they are not manufactured in China either. My synchro packs say Toyota on them. I clearly stated they are Getrag parts. It's quite obvious some posting in here haven't seen a bronze vs. brass synchro side by side, EVER! They look nearly identical. The bronze have a black hue in the shoulder. The brass are gold thru and thru. My kits have black in the shoulder and are gold. They are not the brass rings which are are yellow thru and thru.

    So pop quiz time everyone except Jeff, (please PM me your answer, Jeff V) which one of these synchros depicted below is bronze and which one is brass? Clearly, some folks in here need to research things and do more real world building before they spot legit synchros and scream China.



    For everyone else, these are good kits. Transmission rebuilds require attention to detail, Roger!
