[QUOTE="fallingoffalot, post: 634727, member: 28771"] Just had a new gearbox fitted and it is a massive improvement. The box is a "freeway flyer" from John Walklate with the taller ratio. Drives extremely well on the motorway. It's cruising at about 70 with about 3800 rpm (I think, the needle on my rev counter has started jumping about for some reason). From a dyno run I did a few years ago, that speed was 4100 rpm on a standard box. The 1776 works really well with the ratios and there was no shifting required even on slight up-hills on the motorway. In fact I spent more time than ever in the middle lane!! Many thanks to Graham Lyle for sorting & fitting (and fixing my cooling fan) even though he was recovering from covid!! [/QUOTE]
