[Davecos 4x4]

need a bit more info on what you think caused it to break.

how hard is it being used if you're gentle with the launches and gear changes and how you come on throttle then your not testing the box if you give it death in all the above catagorys then it's good news for cossie owners

This is hard english:but the syncro "thing" has come of the first gear.dont know the accurate name for it here.

[Tore_TJ]

So you just fucked the syncro not the gear itself?

that shouldn't be too hard to fix, the gears seem to be holding up ok then?

This is the problem with all these MT75 based gear kits which use the standard ratios. The speed disparity between the gears is too big, so with big power cars that accelerate so quickly, you end up always beating the syncros trying to match the gearchange with the speed of acceleration. The syncros then bur over, and once that happens the change gets progressively worse.

The ONLY cure is to change gear S-L-O-W-L-Y or move to a gear kit with better ratios (such as Fixit* or the new DP Motorsport like in Spirit's car) or dog engagement.

*Even these can be beating if changing gear too aggressively though.

How hard is dog engagement for road??

[Mike Rainbird]

Drove mine the 275m to and from ND no bother . Three people in car and we had no problem conversing. However, check my resto thread for the prep work for this .

[warrenpenalver]

I guess you have to heel and toe for all down changes??

Nope. Drive normally at slow speed. The issue is noise, I SAID THE ISSUE IS NOISE, DID YOU HEAR ME, I SAID THE ISSUE IS THE NOISE . Hence all the sound deadening in my car. It is now no louder than the Fixit was (inside the car).

the problem isnt the syncro it self its the syncro thing that is together whit the gear thats has come lose fron the gear and broke.
