supRo Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Hi mate! I've seen you about and we've waved to each other in Stevenage Old Town? I'm the Asian lad in the Silver Supra with Carbon fibre bonnet. Lovely motor you've got there mate (assuming it's the one in your Avatar?!) I always take my car to Phoenix in Watford. Speak to Mark and tell him that I sent you. Phoenix Unit 15 Bridle Path Watford WD17 1UE http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=510876&y=197444&z=1&sv=bridle+path&st=6&tl=Bridle+Path,+Watford,+WD17&searchp=newsearch.srf&mapp=newmap.srf Give Paul or Mark a call if you get lost (they are very near to Watford Junction station): 01923 228484 Cheers, Ro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mas Posted June 27, 2006 Author Share Posted June 27, 2006 Hi Ro Thanks mate, what a perfect ride you have there, nice one. will try them and give them a shout, I just hope its not too serious. thanks Mas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supRo Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Could possibly be a worn clutch in which case it will cause premature wearing of the flywheel, driving it in this state so try not to drive it too much mate or put your foot down too hard. Sometimes the wrong gearbox oil causes stiffness in the gearbox. Don't worry too much, the phoenix boys will look after you, sometimes they are a little busy to make an appointment but they won't rip you off.

Homer Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 As Ro says, this could well be wrong gear oil. Its a very common problem and the symptoms are as you describe. Get 2 litres of V160 (Steve Manley in Toyota Oxford is the cheapest and quickest source), any local garage can swap the oil. If symptoms continue then you need to visit a specialist like Phoenix.

supRo Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 If they are too busy mate (customers love going back to them!) then Whifbitz in Enfield are also a very good Supra specialist: http://www.whifbitz.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
