- VX SS, VE SS
Have had my new VE SS for a week and still getting used to clutch and gear box. Compared to previous VX SS the clutch is very light and damn difficult to get right when launching up hill. It also appears to stick a bit before fully releasing.
The gearbox is also very different given the higher ratio diff and the short throw. The lower gears are extra low which means 2nd tops out a bit quick but thankfully 5 and 6th are still high enough. ie 1500rpm at 100Kph. The 4 to 5th change is not as smooth as the VX but the rest are ok. Overall the gearbox is a lot more notchy but it is new whereas the VX now has 100K on it.
Will give it more time but interested in others opinions.
