Trouble quickly engaging gear most times, it shunts when getting off the throttle quickly and feels like it's slipping when taking off in 1st or 2nd.Do you have his contact details?Thanks Edited 15/05/07 06:56 AM by Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clutch material that blocks the filter is mainly from the direction pack but these discs are cheap as chips to buy genuine.Most of the shift problems are simply caused by low oil flow and pressure due to the filter.They are actually very cheap to overhaul. Having said that there is no benefit in beefing the packs up because that will only cause the input shaft to snap sooner. Although the new genuine input shafts look to have a different heat treatment process than the early ones. So in time it might be worth adding another couple of discs and plates.

Just lots of HP. So to me unless you do track work, the original cooler is fine. neither will save your input shaft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the box will be overhauled once the tough bottom end goes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
