Options to make gearbox better

[simonp83]

One minor thing I'd like to be a little better is the changing of gears. Is there anything I can upgrade or do to make the gear changes a little less notchy, any upgrades?

I really like the stick shift, don't find it notchy at all? You sure there's not a problem with yours?

Mine was very notchy when I first got the car, now after 400 miles its appreciably better, main problem is me always being in the wrong gear:headbonk:

Oooh that hurts:(

But, until you get more experience, it's probably a good thing that you young fellas stick with the slower manuals:cheers:

Is there a wrong gear :shrug: OK first is for crawling so I lazily find I'm setting off in second and sixth kills it if you need to step on the gas but fourth comfortably takes you from 25 to 60 or more

Never driven an auto before, despite my technology background though, I prefer to be in complete control of the car, even if it means being in the wrong gear at the wrong time lol.

Simon, I have the MGW shifter to go on my car so you're welcome to try that if we e RR cross paths. Apparently it's a massive improvement.

My S197 was the same, notchy and sloppy at the same time if you know what I mean? I fitted a Steeda shifter to that and it sharpened things up but it was still notchy.

Yes I agree my car is terribly boring so much so that I could leave you as a distant dot in my mirrors at my leisure with boring regularity....:lol:

Yes and I could be a passenger in a Tesla or the Bullet Train and do the same thing, doesn't mean i'd enjoy it. Anyway, each to their own, don't want to turn this into a manual v auto debate! :cheers:
