Are my Getrag MT285 synchros ok?

[Rust_Belt_Pete]

I have mt285 getrag model. These are no longer made and no parts to be had.
Bought a spare one. Do these synchros look OK? Saw a bit of brass dust inside the case.

Can't tell just by looking at a single blocker ring, The teeth can be intact & the cone be wore out.

Ah thank you, looks like I am stuck. Dog legs might be holding the gears in and I dont even know how to remove the rod that holds the dog legs.

What car, Ford or Mini? Why do you think you need a new transmission?

Mini, I dont think I simply dont know. My current transmission is 200k miles old. This one I bought for 100 bucks supposedly out of a 70k car. I am planning on heavily modding the car and want a transmission in good condition.

Well crap, looks like I am truly out of luck. No one makes the parts for the mt285 anymore

Shoot them an email. There are millions of Getrag 6MTT250 transmissions (285 Nm, BMW/Mini: GS6-53 BG) out there.

If its similar to some I know, it looks like the key slots are worn a bunch.

The ford focus is suppose to have that transmission so checking at ford for parts?

I found this it maybe the correct thing, call em and find out.

That is ST. The old SVTs are the ones that had the similar syncrhos.
