gavinvr6 0 Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 ocasionally 2nd gear either gets stuck trying to up-change or wont go in completely. last time this happened the star gear i think it was called exploded out of the casing leavng me stuck on the m275 in portsmouth in rush hour with a trail of oil, cogs and chunks of casing. funny now i look back at the mess it made.now the idea is get it caught before it happens again, the last box had seen 120k so is not suprising, but this had a guaranteed 68 thou 4 thou ago, its only very ocasionally and predominantly if im giving it welly, now is this me missing the gear (im no nigel mansell) or is there an issue with these box's, ie.... prone to giving up. and what can i do to prevent another 500 quid bloody bill?
