Delivery and Shipping

UK delivery — parts we hold in stock

Ordered before 2pm on a working day, these are dispatched the same day by express courier and normally arrive within 1–2 working days.

Parts supplied from our European supplier

A large part of our range is held by our supplier in Germany rather than on our own shelves. We order these in for you as soon as you place the order. They normally dispatch within 7–10 working days, and are then sent on by express courier like anything else. Nothing ships to you direct from Germany — it comes to our Arlesey workshop first, so you deal only with us for returns and warranty.

Collection from Arlesey

Click and collect is available on parts we physically hold. If an item has to come in from our supplier it cannot be collected, and checkout will tell you so before you pay.

International

3–5 working days once dispatched. Any customs charges or excise duties are the responsibility of the buyer.

What is a reverse gear synchroniser?

A synchroniser (or synchromesh) matches the rotational speed of a gear to the gearbox shaft before engagement, enabling smooth, crunch-free gear selection. The reverse gear synchroniser serves the same function for reverse gear.

What are the symptoms of a worn reverse gear synchroniser?

Common symptoms include a crunching or grinding noise when selecting reverse, difficulty engaging reverse gear, or reverse gear jumping out while driving. These are signs the synchroniser ring has worn and needs replacement.

Is this a genuine Alfa Romeo part?

Yes — part number 55351580 is a genuine Alfa Romeo factory part, ensuring correct fitment and OE specification performance.

Does this synchroniser fit other F40 gearbox applications?

The F40 gearbox is used across multiple Alfa Romeo, Opel/Vauxhall and Saab models, but not all use the same synchroniser. Contact us with your vehicle details to confirm compatibility before ordering.

How is this synchroniser fitted?

Fitting a reverse gear synchroniser requires gearbox removal and disassembly. This should be carried out by a qualified gearbox specialist. Eco Torque also offers gearbox rebuild and repair services.

Why Choose Eco Torque?

As specialists in gearbox rebuilds and repairs, Eco Torque takes pride in offering genuine gearbox parts, high-quality aftermarket alternatives and competitive pricing.
