Dillz Three pedals are better then two.. Donating Members 15,637 Member For: 17y 6m 19d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 14/10/07 07:50 AM Share Posted 14/10/07 07:50 AM After about 4 months since I got it fixed last time, I'm starting to loose 5th and reverse again. Last time I was told a bolt came loose in the box and was easy to fix, but it set me back $300. Now I'm pretty sure it's coming loose again which means another 300 to fix. Is this a common thing in the five speeds and is there a way to fix it for good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expensive problem though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want more power in the future so I'll probably have to get a T56 anyway.Thanks for your help mate.Dillon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys think this would help or am I just throwing good money at a sh*t box. Edited 02/11/07 11:33 PM by XRTPSI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, are you planning on keeping the car for a long time? if you're only gonna have it for another two years, that's something you should consider before spending big dollars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
