6th Gear

[jhinchy]

Just a quick one,
when going from 5th to 6th gear, is it normal for the lever not to go back as far, as when going from 3rd to 4th? This is on a 2004 VY Ute

My 04 Monaro goes back the same for 4th and 6th

ah someone has been test driving......was there anything else wrong with it and yes it should go back the same as the rest

You have me figured out drew! and you know the car.
Fantastic machine, few small things, scratch on wing, switching to dipped beam knocks off lights completely, otherwise he kept it really well. Id love a monaro, but the vrt on an 05 vxr is €9000, and then annual tax of nearly €1500, so there is quite a lot of money between them. Decisions decisions....

One of my cars has done that. It looks like a new indicator stork may have fixed it.

ah right, i was thinking that, it was as if a relay was sticking, but both sides did it, and they are on seperate relays afaik.

and how are the brakes

Seemed pretty good! slight wobble in the steering when braking, but they had plenty stopping power!! I didnt do any high speed stops, but they were more than sufficient :-)
It has a few nice things done to it, headers, exhaust, brakes etc. and its got a good spec, leather, climate, hardtop cover. Wasnt massively impressed with the power initially, but it just pulled the same in every gear. after clocking up a few miles, i was well impressed.
Im driving a nissan 180sx at the moment, she put out 360bhp at the fly when i got her mapped, and when the turbo spools up, it is a bit crazy.
I did expect the ute to be a bit tail happy, but i was surprised with the levels of grip in it. A very impressive car all round.
