Re: [VintageLambo] Second Gear

John Have the same problem on mine. Double clutch, matching the revs, downshifting goes a long way to solving the problem. Have not done it on this car yet but a good synthetic gear oil like Swepco should help, has worked wonders on some other manual transmissions I have. I will let you know. Merry Christmas to all.

My car has a lazy synchro on second - OK when going from first if you take it easy but difficult to get it just right coming back from third, especially when cold. (My car supposedly had replacement syncro rings before I bought it - I have the receipts so I suppose that is correct) I seem to remember a few comments about second gear in a number of postings on the lists. Is there anything that can be done, or is it just a Lamborghin gearbox "thingy" which we have to learn to live with ????
