JacksTrans: but how and what CF lined there improves for work of synchros? I just want to hear a bit theoretical side to learn . To me synchros seem like mini clutches to even out rotational speeds by friction. So they probably wear down by time and also might be overheated by abuse/non rev matched high-rpm-delta shifts. I don't know if lined up part also is where friction happens, and how/what/if CF can improve (or not) if used there. Or is it to add some strength for not the most rigid material of brass? - if you can, enlighten us on how CF synchros work/why they can work better. I can understand that teeth shape and other improvements of yours may improve shifting, but not getting CF bit, which is very strong and light material for eg. car body parts .. but how it does if friction & high temps are involved? No problems with different material thermal expansion issues?
