gaz1 Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 Was the damage caused by poor fitment Gaz ? to be honest its something i could not prove but it was not installed right it was miss aligned, the box used to whine a little when i first got it, then every now and again 4th would not select:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Id take it easy for the first couple hundred miles just to be on the safe side. Is it possible to miss align a gearbox? iirc it just bolts in, there is not any adjustment i can think of:search: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nicholas Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Mine used to stick in 4th till I adjusted the bolt at the back of the clutch IIRC if the gearbox has been removed and refitted the pedel alignment can be off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkirby Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 i would drive it and take it easy for 250 miles then drop the oil and change it then drive as normal but as far as i know gearbox's dont need to be run in but better safe than sorry Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Take it easy to allow parts to settle into final place for a few miles, also allows the oil to move into gaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
