Hi John, well she's been out in anger, as I think your aware. 12th to 7th and a finish. Good for the first effort.
First thought is how neutral the handling was. (and how the gear box prefered that state!!)
She felt surprisingly stable. Although I wasn't at full tilt due to the fact she was jumping out of 3rd gear (which is used for all of the lap apart from half of the straights) it's a pain racing with one hand.
And the box was leaking oil as well. (think it's the breather on top!) It's a bitch to get at and I so dont want to take it out. As you know it's the engine out to get at it, unless you have any clever ideas?
Latest thought is the gearbox is moving when under hard acceleration. And because the gear stick/linkage is attached to the chassis, it pulls her out of gear.
It doesn't happen when not "at racing" revs. Driving on the road is fine.
Is this a know Nagari foible or am I the first to experiance this.
Is there a mod to the linkage or should I try adaping a Hurst shifter or a hard rear mount on the box?
Any ideas would be great.
Cheers J
