Mk1 cars are most easily recognised from the tunnel, which has a hump round the gear lever whereas 4-synch tunnels are flat. Reverse will crunch on both 3 and 4-synch. Originally Mk1 cars were fitted with 3-synch gearboxes, and the primary recognition factor of those is if they crunch when you try to select 1st gear when moving. Overtightening bolts can cause covers to warp between adjacent bolt holes and leak more, check they are flat before fitting. Great gobs of it will get extruded out into the works and can rip paper/card/cork gaskets as the bolts are tightened. Use something non-hardening such as Loctite MR5922, and only a thin smear. Gasket sealants - don't use silicone-based as they 'go off' very quickly. Thank you.ģ-Synch_or_4-synch?
