    Gearbox Failure

    Thats intersting... I will get it to a garage some time soon and have it pulled apart. Yes and no, I have been losing 3rd gear for quite a while now but when it went, it gave no warning. I changed from 1st to 2nd mid slide and it just let go.

    Gearbox Failure

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrpptSMTjEA Took the car out for a run today to give it some shit/testing for the dragonball and she gave in as I went from 1st to 2nd. Thankfully I wasnt far from home so I managed to reverse all the way home. The vid is showing the noise being made when you lift the clutch to drive off......BRILLIANT. BTW - If you are selling a 6 speed box, I am now in the market. P.S - Does it sound like gearbox? I cant think what else it would be seing as I am able to reverse. Note that the rattling is the clutch and has always been like that. HKS twin plate. EDIT: FOR ANYONE WITH SIMILAR SYMPTOMS, THIS TURNED OUT TO BE THE DIFF
  6. Careful mate! The T's &C's may say they take you to the nearest garage.... aboout as much use as a chocolate T pot or a N/A. On a side note, I have just got a quote with the AA - I am a member on a 94 UK spec for £54.97 - to Netherlands.

    I use R888's and think they are brilliant!
  8. If you don't find a home for the wheels and need them out your way I'll take them for £100. As will use them for a track day. Hope your well mate.
  9. Branners, is there anywhere that shows the route and format etc? Or does it remain a well kept secret? Are we going to any tracks on route?
  10. They are fine. I was caught doing 183kph on the phone in France and got a 90euro fine and got caught in holland with with PIG number plates on and didn't get anything, a quick blag and PIG plate removal and all was fine. Don't mess with z Germans though
  11. I have a gearbox that is losing 3rd but need a replacement first before I can let this one go.

  13. 6 years and still trying to get rid of the dam money pit Bought as standard uk spec for 9500 spent about 40-50k and it's now worth about 14k
  14. For old times sake....bread shot please?
  15. Haven't been in a dragonball since the 2000 and ages ago. Just tried to sell my car but dean wouldn't buy it so signed up to join guys. Have we paid for 2 people, 1 car? I haven't read the thread properly!!!! Sorry!
  16. Dammit! Just logged on today to look for a doner 6 speed and miss out on this one. You snooze you lose eh! If anyone is looking to get rid of a 6 speed, please pm me
  17. I work for an insurance brokers. We have a special department that deal with "non standard" cases such as this. They will be able to help, please email me your number on [email protected] if you would like me to get them to call you. thanks Jon
  18. I have a place locally that I may speak to as they seem good. (only looking for partial) then I might ask you to have a look homer. Missed gears....up or down? I have had loads of both I'll also have a look out for a second hand one...2 & 4k are both out of my budget at the mo as I have just renewed all my single parts and exhaust etc.
  19. When it started going wrong, I knew that I would have to get involved with bull shit getting hold of one of these gear boxes. It wasn't that fact that the car was breaking or the cost, just can't be bothered with the hunting. My tech knowledge is rubbish, is it simple to replace a syncro if that's all that wrong? As at the moment I still have all gears, what went when you did your gear box Jamie?
  20. As soon as it became silly mods my mrs hated mine. Now I am a little more sedate with quite exhaust, plumbed in waste gates and nice light twin plate I'm hoping she will be fine. She only drives it to get it cleaned for me though
  21. It's been coming for a little while but 3rd gear is now done and dusted. When racing I can't change up without lots of grinding and I can't get it in at all going down (just grinds). Driving normally, you wouldn't know anything was wrongs with it. Please can I request you EXPERIENCED advice. P.s my budget will not stretch to a new one at 6k + Thanks Jon
  22. Still a few of us about. I often wonder how some of the old 'gang' are. Doug (Class one), Paul (dragonball), Dom (suprapilot), Mark (supragold) and plenty that I can't remember the user name for at the moment. I rarely come on now although have put the car back on the road again. Glad to see you back on form Greg
  23. I'm trying to convince the mrs to take my car down for me...no secure booking from me yet!
  24. Bits no longer required. I had to bit the bullet and go new due to lack of time thank you all for your help. Jon
