You have removed the left hand driveshaft flange and the 5th gear c/w its synchonising hub and the idler gear and then the 4 countersunk bolts from under the 5th gear p/n N 906 984 01 havn’t you?
You also need to remove a bolt on the underside about 1/2 way between the 2 flanges, it holds the reverse idler shaft in place, so you can check its p/n is N 900 422 01
Have you removed the gear selector shaft? this is accessed though the very big nut on the front of the box p/n 020 301 232E you will also have to remove the gear linkage lever holding nut and lever on the other end of the selector shaft and the selector locking bolts from the top of the gearbox casing over the selector shaft p/n N 900 930 01 and 171 941 550
only then will the selector shaft slide out of the front aperture, if you have any problems you can always contact me directly, or have a look here http://www.brokevw.com/teardown.html []Chris SModeratorYou should ask rally ronan as he has the 25mm rear ARB
Chris SModeratorChris SModeratorThat sounds better, but it is not entirely unknown for garages to overcharge syncro owners as you pay to be on their learning curve! [:0]

Chris SModeratorComplete rear axle ready to fit []
With new mk4 brake calipers
New brake pipes
And a new Rallye ARB and mountings
Chris SModeratorYes they did, it had one less draw and no side pocket!
Chris SModeratorThe DX motor has solid cam followers while the GU has hydraulic ones, and most tuning companies have different cams listed for the two motors,
see here http://techtonicstuning.com/showcategories.asp?catid=29
and here http://techtonicstuning.com/camsspecs.asp
My friend Edwin also says that the DX cam wont be any good on a hydraulic cam follower motor,
Edwin at his office
And playing in Syncro number 815
Chris SModeratorYes, very much so http://www.vwsyncro.co.uk/data/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1671
Chris SModeratorYes very much so
Chris SModeratorSee guide for progress
Chris SModeratorNo its more than likely a (99% certain) broken cable, you could try pulling and releasing the handbrake a few times incase the internal caliper adjuster has come unstuck but its really not likely to make any difference.
Suprise, Suprise, it was the internal adjuster/cable, there’s one for the book []
Chris SModeratorReplacing a Handbrake cable on a Rallye or any Syncro with rear disc brakes for that matter is easier in one respect as you dont have to get brake drums off to fit the cables, but you do have to fiddle the cables round under the heatshields and on the Rallye/Passat Syncro the twin silencer boxes are also a bit in the way.
