Title: Gear box blues!!
Post by: brmmark on August 06, 2013, 20:58:57 pm

Bought a prostreet gearbox three years ago, it ran perfect [only street driven, no fast take offs], but now when I shift to reverse and have the clutch pedal down it stumbles like the wheels like to fall off, but when I am on speed in reverse and the clutch pedal is loose it's ok. The other four gears work perfect, no noise nothing. Does anybody have a clue what is going on?

Anybody have a clue

I'd say theres nothing wrong with the box, check your mounts, especially at the nose cone.

edit, after reading it properly is your clutch adjustment ok, free play in the pedal etc, ive only ever had reverse gear issue like you say from iffy mounts, but not from stationary, sounds like clutch adjustment to me.
