well a small boring update on my white 5.
the cars back on its feet for the first time in ages.
its on its 4/5/6th gearbox, i cant remember which. lol
basically i was having trouble in selecting 2nd gear at high revs, i tried a few different things to sort it but couldnt.
i eventually gave in and decided to sent it to a pro.
i sent it to mach1transmissions who has been specialising in un1 gearboxes for kit cars for years.
he stripped it and said he couldnt find anything physically wrong. (which is good and bad news cos it means i didnt **** up the build, but bad cos we dont know how to fix it properly lol)
i sent him 3 boxes to build the best one out of the lot.
it now has a new diff with a different ratio giving me longer gears, new synchro hub for 1/2, new stronger synchros springs 1/2, blah blah blah...
its all back in the car now and i will be test drving it tomorrow.
im still only running 10psi at the mo until i can sort a charge cooler
but at least its heading in the right direction.
shame the tax runs out on monday lol
