XYZ Donating Members 1,171 Member For: 15y 3m 21d Posted 30/04/12 06:49 AM Share Posted 30/04/12 06:49 AM Hi.Not sure if its an input shaft at this stage. Still waiting for the boys to take a look at it. May be an intermediate shaft. Will let everyone know when I know. Yes, my input shaft is a billet one but I guess nothing is unbreakable. 10.6 was my slowest time of the night so car ran conistently all night apart from 4th gear probs.Was about to say it could be the intermediate shaft, however these normally break in higher gears 90kph +.Well done on the times mate, that is a fantastic result! Makes me want to pull my finger out! LolGet your box rebuilt with the extra clutch packs which should get rid of the flaring issues in 4th. Had the same problem with mine, however no issue now after I had it built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just the way it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possum could probably help. Reasonably aggressive ZF tune from 1st to 2nd change so I'm sure this would have contributed some what. May have to back off the line pressure or something. I personally think the ZF tune software still needs heaps of refinement. I'm confident Nizpro will get it sorted for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
