Subject:Syncro Lifespan?
From:David Bogle / Architecture
Date:Thu, 13 Aug 1998 23:16:14 -0400

Hello again [syncro] experts,

It appears from all the postings and ads regarding syncros that many
need their drivetrains rebuilt around the 100K mark.  Is this true or
are these just the ones being traded?  I am considering an'87 with 90K -
never been rebuilt, never had the heads rebuilt as far as I know.  Are
the CVs, differentials and heads going to need replacement/rebuilds in
the next 10K, 25K, 50K?  Could it last forever?

Thanks,

David Bogle
