Drive advice.... !

[p4paul]

Firstly thanks for all the info on my last post... It has been a great help, i decided to get it on the rolling road first and take it from there.CHEERS
My next issue is that I seem to be having trouble at low speed -30ish driving. The car feels like its in to high a gear if in 3/4 and jumps alittle almost like its missing. does anyone have a ball park Idea of what the normal speed/ gear range is... ?This sounds so NODY like... but....this is the first TVR I've had and wondered if this is the case with all V8-400 chim. Any advice...cheers

Just a quick question have you got a copy of the bible ?
I ask as i suspect the speed in gear is printed in there


P.S where in uk are you

[p4paul]

No I dont have a copy... I live in South Wales... great driving.. thanks for not saying to retake my test..!

Best get a copy you WILL need it,sorry i cant help with your speeds but i run a slightly different car

Nice roads in Wales

I run a '96 4.0 and if the engine is cold it's a bugger around 30mph.
I have found the best way to handle it is keep it in 3rd up until around 40mph.
This has 2 benefits:-
1. Car drives very smoothly
2. Keeps the revs up, nice and loud

Joking aside though, once mine is warmed up it'll behave reasonably well at 30mph in 4th.

Yes... thats alittle like mine. however its a little silly even when warm.. maybe I should get it tuned.
