  • Funny how the Mk 2 I own , it doesnt matter how you drive it , a smooth change through the gears is near on impossible!Its not always pausing that can save the box from going you know.

  • @e37405 Back then people were probably more civilised as was the pace of life.

  • atleast these crash gear box men didn't need to deal with all the scum of the day, they had a conductor.

  • Yes you are right, pause between gear changes.

    Due to the design of the gearbox, it takes a second to engage a gear, but two seconds to disengage. Hence the need for the pause. But unfortunately, many drivers are unaware of this. Drive one of these properly, you will get a ride second to none. They are joy to drive. Some people try to drive a semi-auto like a manual, but they don't succeed.

  • Thats what a good driver would do. how some of the so called drivers these days would have managed with a crash gearbox as on some of the Midland Reds from earlier days, I dread to think.

  • he's caning the poor old girl a bit isn't he? I thought it was into neutral, ease off throttle, next gear and back on the gas for one of these?
