Seeing as we are unlikely to make this months RR day now we have decided to do a bit more work on the vans engine.
If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

Will the box survive if we treat it with some sympathy or will it fail horribly? Can you actually bring yourself to treat it sympathetically though? I was trying to treat my engine with sympathy at castle combe last weekend and it never fell below 5500 rpm for both track sessions. On 7th Oct, 2010 5haneJ said:

An old SC box or gearset from somewhere would be nice but lack of budget is the problem.

I kept alternating. Maybe we should put a shift light on top of the dash.

was reading the gearbox thread earlier, we have s/c drops which will help with that...

I've seen these threads Brett. I think Robert was using helical drops which may have contributed to his gearbox failure but I may be wrong.

and i know a std 1275 pump is adequate( my thread is somewhere) but my powerflow pump was only 31 quid from minits If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

Fast Carl Thrusts is certainly something to think about... If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

I have a cheap shift light wired to the MJ and positioned ahead on top of the dash.When it lights up you shift almost automatically-works for me. 'Where does the engine go?' |
