Just went for a spin in my F40 and the car seemed to struggle going from 2nd to 3rd - normally the gear box is smooth but today it just didn't feel happy. It wasn't grating just felt very notchy - if that makes sense!?

I'm going to get Gray Paul to have a look at it but wondered if any other owners have experienced this or know what it could be? Cheers!

At the moment but thinking of shifting a few bits about.

Perfect - fingers crossed that's all it is.

Cheers Andy.

I will find out next week once they have a look at her! Touch wood it's just the same thing that happened to Andy and nothing more sinister.

Thankfully it was what Andy thought it would be so was (relatively!) cheap to fix! smile
