Reply to "Gear shifting problems"

I’m with George on this.
When I first purchased my Pantera I found I was shifting too fast & the result was sometimes I would shift up to 2nd, but end up with 4th.
After more practice I found slow down the shift, be more precise, but gentle.
And it shifted much better.
I then changed the ZF lubricant to Redline “lightweight shockproof gear oil” (75W140) & noticed a much smoother shift yet again.
The result being with practice & the better oil I can shift a bit quicker & be confident of a clean shift.
I have found that when you have shifted too fast & its heading for the wrong gear you can feel it happening & have time to go back & do it again before it turns to #@**.
I wouldn’t mind trying the cable shift.
I have an acquaintance that I suggested the cable shift to & he has installed it on his ZF.
So I’m waiting on feedback as to the result.
Let someone else spend the bucks & be the guinea pig!

Regards,
Tony.
