Hi all (again)
relates to the starcraft...forgot to mention this t'ver day.
When i was driving it home, i noticed when i went from 3 to 4th etc and opp direction, i couldnt pop it straight into gear, i had to pause a half second or so in the neutral position before it would go straight in...wouldnt slot in otherwise..
Only gear i could slap it straight in, was to 5th...iirc (i have a lousy memory) i was reving to match the engine speed etc.
Was hoping to have the geabox out today, but rained off....with the delay and noting being able to get selected gear straight away, is it the syncro? not sure if its a good idea to get another gearbox from a scrapper, esp due to age...as i have to take out the gearbox to change the clutch etc, would it be better to replace on the box the bits with new?
On a lighter note...i have back my T3 VW from the insurers, (bought it back) and no steering or susp damage when i was hit by the drunk driver, the pass and sliding door works fine...
taking the insurers to onbudsman, as they made 2 insulting offers etc
Was nice to drive the VW again...shes pig ugly, slow etc...but beggers cant be choosers!
Hoping to go around Europe in the Starcraft in Aug.
