You think you wouldn't have took that car apart then after a while ?
Who are you kidding

But as for money well invested, probably not. My car too will suffer with this problem, it is far from original and therefore will devalue alot.
But hey I like my car and it is what I could afford.

If the car wasn't lighter or seamwelded then I wouldn't bother to buy a Ruf. Would want to weigh it to see before parting with any £$£$£$£$
Wasn't the G50/50 stronger than the 52 ?
Maybe it saved having the shaft shortened and obtaining the different end cover.

I have a feeling that they all are brass but can all be upgraded.
I know that the 996tt X50 option or the 996tt S has steel synchros.
Do you know what the benefit of brass is ? I can't seem to work it out.
Don't think they would last long in the 915

I can say that both brass and steel have very high tensile strength although Brass is mallieable as were steel is not. I was told that the hardned steel synchros were considerably stronger but the sole purpose for the brass was to make for easier shifting for the non turbo market.

So you mean that the brass is easier to force/squash into the slider ? I would have thought that the brass would wear very quickly compared to the steel and therefore the 915 would eat them up. I have to admit I have never seen inside a G50 type box yet... I have no intention of doing so, fingers crossed...
