Hi guys, any reason why changing gears is sometimes a bit notchy? Just had new clutch all new bushes and seals changed, new gearbox oil and new drive shafts. The car is still running its standard gear linkage, but sometimes when changing gear it won't drop in 'cleanly', it was the same before all the above work. Is the box fooked or is there any thing that can be done Dunno

cheers Thumbs up

COMMA EP75/80, but as said, it was the same before if i'm honest, its never been a 'smooth' change. Is this the way they are?

You dont want ep oils, normal straight 75w80 is what you want, pheeeleeep told me this, the ep bit mucks it all up.

EP is Extreme Pressure e.g works best in rear diffs in big 4x4's etc

only oil that works well in pug boxes is Total 75w80 same as the dealer uses.

Yep, get the Total oil.
If everything else is in order it makes gear changes nice and smooth.
