[VintageLambo] Shifting Etiquette

Author: rvosari

Message

If you are serious about improving shifting you might consider the following: 1. Make sure that your clutch is actually disengaging especially at high RPM ( adjust PP fingers)… also make sure that the MC or SC is not leaking internally (fairly common if over 5 years old) 2. When you shift and feel the synchros "Come in" move the lever with alacrity ( no babying) 3. If you are going thru the gearbox… make sure that the forks work correctly… and are not bent or cracked ( NDT the parts) 4. If you have a lot of extra time on your hands polish the shifting rails… this works pretty well on Jalpas/Urracos 5. Use Redline gear oils … they don"t use friction modifiers and their CF seems to work well with all types of synchronizers REV
