Something very strange!

[Dannyp]

Hey guys. Just wondering if anyone has had similar things happen.

I'm hoping its just a couple gear change errors i have done. I have a ve ss ute series one in manual. Had it for about 4 months and everythings been pretty sweet except the other day i was giving it a bit in second and went to change to third and i swear it went into 1st because the revs went up hard and the car slowed down heaps. Its happened twice now. But i dont think it would be that easy to get into 1st at 80 or so k's

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

It's not strange mate, it's just the crud gearbox these things come with as standard.

If you can , get a Ripshift installed. Will help a lot.

Cheers.

Thanks for the replies fellas. Man i hear everyone raving on about these ripshifters. And they're so cheap. What are so good about em?

Its a shortshifter, decreaseing the throw between gears. It also has a nifty feature to help get into 3rd quicker/better.

Haha sounds like just what i need, how much would install cost roughly do you reckon? I hear they are only about $450 or so hey.

Thanks boys
