Gonzo88 Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 ... Around Lincolnshire. I would really like to compare my gearbox with someone else's because it shakes quite and bit and doesn't like low gears when cold. I'm wondering if the gearbox oil needs changing? Or due to the changing noise is it the flywheel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Sounds fairly normal to me but certainly wouldn't hurt to change the oil and add some molyslip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo88 Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share Posted April 7, 2013 It was my father that questioned it. I thought it was normal as when cold the oil is going to be thicker. Plus there is no slipping in any of the gears. Oh a Lamborghini owner let me overtake him yesterday was beautiful! Don't see many on the Lincolnshire roads!

spursmaddave Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 If it doesn't slip then I wouldn't get concerned, always bad when cold 1st > 2nd. Not guaranteed but I fitted a grounding kit and it smoothed out the vibration at idle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun1982 Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Where abouts in lincs are you? There's at least a couple from the Grimsby area I've seen post on here, I'd help you but I've got an auto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo88 Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share Posted April 7, 2013 I'm 20 miles south of Lincoln so that would be a good middle ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun1982 Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Wonder if a lincolnshire meet would have enough cars to be worth sorting then. Lincolns not too far from me. About 30 mins to the first Lincoln roundabout on the a46 for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMT Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Unless your having major clutch issues wouldn't worry about it. You get used to it being a bit clunky from cold. Just watch as you go into 2nd, don't catch that gear at the wrong time lol I wondered about this at first too when I picked mine up. And the flywheel makes a clattery noise sometimes if your quick off the clutch (i think thats the flywheel anyway...correct me if im wrong). If it feels ok once you've been driving a while I wouldn't worry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
