Gear change - what's normal?

[K@rlos]

A stock VW gear change is pretty vague tbh, I upgraded to an Empi shifter within a month which made it lovely to drive about town. Ran that for 4 years, got a CSP about a month ago and that is in league of it's own!

No matter how bad a bus is, it's alot better than going through central London in a Volvo FH12 with a 12 speed spiltter box :-@

:lol: i bet its not as much fun as an e,r,f 320 cummins and an eaton twin splitter... :evil: they just dont build em like that anymore......thank,,f@$£k :mrgreen:

I've heard the older blokes talk of a twin splitter, I'm only 22 so it's abit before my time :lol:

Found the elusive second gear a couple of times yesterday. I can't begin to explain how chuffed I was. Went out - briefly- in a "normal" car today and crunched every gear possible.

The roll a ciggy thing is an amusing old wives tale. Get in, start it and drive is the best way to warm it up.

Oh, the romance is already leaving...

I found I had trapped some of the cabin insulation under my shift when bolting it down to the floor. Was all chuft that it was fixed but actually ....NO.

I see someone saying to try moving it to the left I think thats my next thing to try tonight, loosen the bolts and move the whole shifter around.

Since you moved the cabin insultaion, my gear change has been pretty darned good.
