My VXR gearbox doesn't "feel" right and due to the fantastic reliability these have, I did some looking into the most common issues they have to see if this meant mine was on its way...
My car has (now) 16200 miles on the clock.
It feels like it grates/notches into 2nd gear. Not all the time though. Sometimes 3rd too. Thats on up shift. On down shift it sometimes struggles to go into 5th. Then feels like it grates/notches 3rd and 2nd. Again, it doesn't do it all the time. Also, although it feels this way on the gearshift, there is no noise from the box (as you would hear if it were actually grating the gears).
Just to note: there is no whining from the box, no funny noises, no play or movement in the gearshift whatsoever.
Anyone have any ideas? I was thinking of changing the gearbox fluid to a Millers 75/80 to see if this would improve the gear change but if it doesn't, I have wasted £40 on oil.
Thanks in advance.
