scoff u may have looked at this idea before so dont shoot me lol
on the synchro rings if u remove every other 'tooth' it enables a smoother gear change.
just a thought for u .
sorry if off topic

Re: sat night special - POD 17 - 18th oct

Hi dave
don't worry, you're more likely to teach me stuff about gearbox's, I know nowt, always left that to the pro's... I read about removing the teeth, problem is, I don't understand how they work anyway ? I can't find a single decent explanation telling me why that works. I would like to understand the synchro's better.

wudnt be abe to teach u much mate,
its just something that the boys in time attack are doing i also read it in a jap mag i think.
i think its along the lines of less teeth, less friction, and quicker engagment.
instead of getting say 50 teeth in to 50 slots
u only put 25 teeth in to 50 slots
sort of
ill try and find the article i read

Re: sat night special - POD 17 - 18th oct

maka, no just the daytime for me :)

Re: sat night special - POD 17 - 18th oct
17/18th? that gives me 2 and a half weeks to loose these crutches, fit a new clutch and address any reason why it failed. All being good il get a couple of mates together for it to:smokin:

Re: sat night special - POD 17 - 18th oct
there will be about 5 of us in R5s and clios that i know of currently.
Where leaving form Junction 28 M1. before dinner time saturday.
Prices for camping will be on the santapod website.
My mobby number is available on request via PM.
failing that look out for the car or some dude with a bright yellow radiation tshirt on..thatll be me.
i do believe were setting up a BBQ. if we dont ill be bringing some disposable burger killers!!!
my clutch is slippping like a dog but all the efforts are being piled into the hybrid conversion on my R19. so its clutch slip up the strip for me!
