Ah right. All I'd do is stuff some rag in the box and cover it in grease to catch the swarf. Loctite the bolts in and check what they are in terms of rating. I've seen some snap and some come loose and go in the box. The end result is the same - fucked gearbox.

I can't zoom in enough to read the reg! Lol

Ok mate no problem.

Is this the bolt in diff plate you can get off eBay?

Lol yeah the video link wasn't showing at first for some reason.

http://youtu.be/tRvszaOhMrICome on then, own up!! Anyone off here?

Lol ok mate.

I can get them for about £650 delivered for an O2M. ;)

With regards to the flywheel Russ, the ONLY reliable way to lighten a standard flywheel is to replace it with a proper billet item imo. The oe cast item will always be running the risk of suffering from fatigue, and let's be honest, who's going to remove the gearbox after every race to check it...

Clear your inbox Ph1 Tom!

It fits in the original gear shift housing. You have to drop it from the underside of the car. It comes with full fitting instructions and it's easy enough to do. No stiff shift doesn't reduce throw.

Look on here mate - http://www.dp-automotive.hu/dpa_developments.html#q8 That one pictured above doesn't appear on yanoo's website so I'd say it's not one of his products. Look at stiff shift.

If that's the one that has a longer gear lever you need to use the short shift link to bring the gear lever throw back so it will be fine. If it's not, just don't rush the gear changes as you'll do damage to the synchros. don't know how much they cost I'm afraid. My stiff shift cost £50 iirc.

Chip-mk1 might have something?

Do you mean stiff shift? I have the stiff shift and it's brilliant. Takes all the slop out of the original linkage and makes the shift smooth and precise.

If the lead is breaking down it can do it at anytime really. Coilpack is another possibility. For the cost of plug leads and coilpack I'd just replace them both tbh. These cars are at that age where these things are past their peak.

Have you changed the lead to the offending cylinder? Also worth noting that cylinder 4 on these engines is at the cambelt end.

Honestly mate you'd be surprised. Dibs on the Quaife if it's not dead and you do decide to go the gripper route though! I'll get you a gripper at a good price as well. ;)

Tony - Quaife will service your atb and replace all the worn parts. It's not silly money. In fact they did a mate of mines for free as they've got a lifetime warranty.

Well hopefully somebody banged that f**king apple head out so he can't make videos like that anymore!! Tedious cnut.

I use a blue point one that I bought off snap on mate. It's got pressure release as well and it's accurate. I have to have it calibrated every year as I use it at work. Cost about £25

The ph1 089 has a longer final drive so gives a higher top speed mate.

No mate. You need to find another jc5 129 with speedo drive. These are found in most ph2 172's or you need to get one out of a ph1 which is a jc5 089. Slightly different final drive on the 089 but nothing to worry about.

£250 gets you a proper billet item. ;)

You haven't had the standard flywheel skimmed to lighten it have?

It didn't on the one I saw this fault on mate. Ran fine when cold/cool but like a bag of s**t when warm.

I've seen a map sensor cause this fault before on a 172.

Do you have warning lights as well as the gauges? Only reason I ask is that from having first hand experience of gauges, in the heat of the moment you don't look at them until it's too late.

At the point he loses control I'm hitting around 135 in my cup!!!! NEVER lift off in foxhole!! I bet the driver didn't know whether to s**t or go blind. Nasty.

You could get a Yanoo shifter kit that came with a short shift linkage gents. I have the stiff shift 1.0 and I rate it. Haven't tried a pms shifter so can't comment.
