Hello Sebastian, Yes they are not that common here in Sweden, at least not here on the west coast. I have never seen another syncro around here. Now I have checked the gearboxcode and its the AVN22 with the 4.85 ratio. But the weird thing is given these parameters, according to http://www.syncro.ca/...
