You need someone to press the clutch whilst you look in the hole where the clutch fork boot is. Just pop it out so you can see in there. Get the other person to press the clutch pedal down and watch to see if the input shaft slows down. It won’t stop completely, but it should be obvious that...
Push the box a bit more mate and see if you get any issues. See if it brings back any confidence in the shift itself. Sometimes when the engine and box are mounted solid, they can feel strange - I didn’t like how mine felt on the pms shifter compared to the yanoo tbf. Can’t explain why either...
I can’t remember if I replaced 1st/2nd synchros or if they we’re swapped out tbf, but I go off how they feel when the mainshaft is on the bench when checking their operation. If they don’t feel right at that point, in the bin they go.
@Louis is it notchy in all gears? Or just 1st/2nd? What oil...
God knows mate! I certainly don’t understand it either. It’s like when every man and dog were rolling with that shotgun.
Don’t get me wrong, some of the lads using it genuinely had skills, but the rest were just amoebas with f**k all skill other than, run in and blast the room in the hope they...
That was for crownwheels mate.
Best bet is put a bellhousing bolt in, then use a lever bar (screwdriver) to counteract the flywheel moving when you torque it up. 😁
Not sure why they chose that location for a bulkhead power connector as it’s liable to get a direct earth off the ex mani in a front end impact. The lhd servo mounting position is definitely the better place as it’s relatively protected.
Looks a pretty good spec shell though tbf mate!
Yeah I’d just replace them with koni top adjustables. I had mine revalved to suit different rear spring rates and it cost similar money from memory.
If it was me I’d bang the konis on and run them at full stiff. Very simple and effective on track.
In other news:
The engine was collected this morning and allowed myself, @Tom Johnson and his dad to have a good catchup on everything engine/life related. It’s now back where it should’ve been 4/5 years ago.....
So the next step is a bit of fabrication work for the installation into the race...
Well very kind words indeed mate, and not really sure what I can say I’m response to that, so I’ll just say thank you 👍🏻
I guess if everything was easy, life would be so f**king boring! 😂 I’ve always been the same though mate. Never let anything beat me and just rise up to the challenge.
No worries 👍🏻
I usually don’t go right up to the line mate. That allows space for when you move to the final finishing grades.
Port matching will always give gains, but in the n/a application they’re always minimal. Once you start improving the breathing with itbs, it almost becomes essential...
