Cures
for a notchy gear change
New RV8 member, Michael Burnside, posted
a query on the V8 Bulletin Board saying "I don't know if all RV8s are the
same, but with my car when changing into 2nd from 1st or 3rd it is a tad notchy.
It is not crunching, it just is not smooth going in. My car is chassis 951 so
has the later R380 gearbox with reverse to the right and back. Are there any adjustments
or cures I could try?" The comments that followed on the V8BB thread produced
some usefulinformation and advice on lubricants for LT77 and R380 gearboxes. (Oct

more detailed note on cures for a notchy gear change and lubricants for the LT77
and R380 gearboxes. More |
