4th to 3rd Gearbox Issue...?
Discussion
All
Having got a few hundred miles under my (short differentialed) R400, I can confidently report that it is indeed very good and a total beast on the road. This is a good thing - and it will be even better when Caterham sort my diff out.
However... something is troubling me and I want your opinions please. Assume all of what happens next happens once the car has been nicely warmed up...
When heel and toe downshifting, the box is great from 6th to 5th, and 5th to 4th. But when I go from 4th to 3rd with a few revs on (i.e. 5k or more), it just won't go unless I force it - which is then accompanied by a massive graunch and a painful hand.
What could be the cause of this? Could it be a 'feature of all Caterham 6 speed boxes'? Could it be a shagged box? Could it be a box that needs more running in?
Thanks all
