Reply to "Gear shifting problems"

Many intresting opinions and suggestions here and I think enough to find a solution.

The main problem is that it shifts well stationary and the first laps and then gradually becomes more difficult, although this is common with race cars.

The solution with the cable shifter look's a good idea but I think I first have to find out some other things.

@ Dave 2811 : the oil I'm using is most certainly not as thick as the one you use. I already chanced the engine oil after one session because when hot, oil pressure dropped below 2 BAR which is to low for a race engine.

@ Cowboy from Hell : I had the gearbox overhauled by a specialist that was recommended to me here in Belgium. Didn't he do a good job ? I don't know.

@ Marlin Jack : I don't need a plate to shift. I've been racing since the mid 90's (mostly with a right hand car being a left hand driver) and if you're a racer, you would know that if you shift back from second to first @ 7000 rpm that you have only a split second to react or you loose the car, certainly when you are going up the radillon in Spa Fracorchamps. The way you put it is insulting, let's keep it to that.
