Just returned from a track day at Bedford Autodrome, great Radical circuit, an early finish due to a drive problem only when changing down the box, a strange clattering noise now and again whilst not being able to select the correct gear followed by a slowing down kangaroo effect, feels like gearbox has blown but then is perfect on up change, any ideas would be really appreciated, I am thinking the diff may be worn?

Don't see how the diff could affect the gear change, as for clattering noise have you checked the chain for tight and loose spots?

Hi,

Thankyou for reply, the chain appears fine approx 10mm play, the problem is not apparent on every down change, probably 1 in 10, especially after a high speed straight coming down to a tight hairpin.
