From: "John Allott" > Is there anything that can be done, or is it just a Lamborghin gearbox > "thingy" which we have to learn to live with ???? > Thanks for all the comments, there seems to be a general feeling that we treat the symptoms - slow shifting, missing the gear when cold, different oils, etc. - rather than being able to overcome the problem within the gearbox, and I suppose its initial design. It seems odd to me that the great engineering in our cars has a weak link in the gearboxes - is there something we are all missing ?Were the cars/gearboxes like this from brand new ? I seem to remember a posting shortly after I joined the "Classic List" about a clutch adjustment which had helped get the gearbox working correctly - does anybody remember who, when and what the posting was about - maybe the originator, if they are on this list can put their comments in again Thanks everyone John
