Slider assembly may come with 1 & 2 syncro rings, IIRC. __________________ Soon to be "The mechanic formerly known as 'Mat@4induktion'" Email me at audigeek@hotmail.com AIM: MatJReid NOW AVAILABLE on the black market: custom colored braided brake lines for audi A4 quattro & S4, and VW Mk IV golf/jetta/new beetle.

Sometimes it's easier to buy a used one. Don't ask my opinion on extended warranties. STFA for those miseries. __________________ Soon to be "The mechanic formerly known as 'Mat@4induktion'" Email me at audigeek@hotmail.com AIM: MatJReid NOW AVAILABLE on the black market: custom colored braided brake lines for audi A4 quattro & S4, and VW Mk IV golf/jetta/new beetle.
