I have test driven two GT4's in the past couple of days coz i'm looking a buying one. I drove a ST185 and a 165. When i drove the 185 i noticed it sucked trying to put it into second when your pushing it. Same when gearing down. My mate, a mechanic, was in the car and said what i thought it was. Synchro's. The bloke that was selling the 185 said he had just spent $2K on the gearbox but didn't know if they did synchro's. He was pretty dosile.
The 165 i drove today did exactly the same thing in second. This time from a yard. The linkages were looser than i'm used to but i dont know if this could be causing it. The fella from the yard was trying to tell me it could be oil.
I'm a bit worried that this gearbox thing isn't a coincidence. Can anyone with any GT4 gearbox experience explain the situation for me. It'd be appreciated.
