x-rad,
Yes I am mate. Ever since I discovered your deep under cover Italian ancestry, I have been tempted to use it but hey, your secret is safe with me..
On the sane side of the fence..is it still possible to get new dog rings ?(outer rings as you call them). I thought that was impossible. Synchros you can get anywhere but I have been raiding used boxes for the dog rings bacause I have been told told that they are no longer available. Can you just clarify that please?
These things are the key component for good meshing during changes and unless the teeth are razor sharp and without any rounding, you are never going to get smooth gear changes no matter how good the the synchros are. Changing the synchros is only half the story. So these suckers are VITAL. Unless you are lucky enough to have a crash box (straight cut)...

Yeah...I'm a Siggy/Napoli combo...(a connoli with nuts!)
Don't worry MD, we have 'friends' in Auzzie land should the 'secret' get out..
To further lessen or worsen he confusion:
synchroniser ring=slider=outer ring=synchroniser engagement gear (da ting wit 33 small teef) and sometimes known as the 'dog gear'
inner ring= friction ring = nearly complete circle of metal with coarse outer surface (fits inside outer ring)
Dog ring or gear: definition of this depends on the transmission type. Generally, the Dog is mated to a driving shaft but can be a gear with side teeth... I consider it the three "toothed" part that is mated to the driving shaft (but I could be wrong),otherwise know as thr synchro hub, and this is not interchangeable with Spider model ( I bought one used and it is sized differently for the center shaft)

Before you all go out and buy these, I have never personally swithced them, but from what others have told me and what I have read, the only interchangeable parts between Spider tranny and GTV6/Milano tranny are the synchro sleeves and friction rings.
