4 synchro hi-grade layshaft single step, pre A+.
General:
Layshafts have been giving more than their fair share of aggravation over the past couple of years. Basically, it is just a case of cheap engineering -- shafts produced down to a price rather than reasonable quality. The use of cheap materials, rapidly machined then poorly heat treated results in a shaft that wears rapidly due to poor surface finish and because the shaft is flexing.
Our layshafts are produced as a precision component from high grade materials and meticulous attention to the heat treatment and finish grinding; thus, providing a stronger, straighter, more resilient shaft. They are available for 3- and 4-synchro gearboxes, both single and dual step types.

The standard diff unit’s componentry falls well short in the performance stakes. As an absolute minimum you should fit an up-rated diff-pin - whether this is because your racing regs don’t allow alternatives, or merely for the road - along with new planet-wheels and thrust washers.
