i get a drone/vibration if i select too high a gear at a low road speed (5th gear @ 60kph) but it sounds more like the exhaust rather than anything else.
my R154 had very poor shifting qualities before i put RedLine Lightweight Shockproof Gearoil in... its expensive but worth it.
that being said no gearoil will make the R154 a pleasure to shift.
unless i shift down through every gear finishing in 1st comming up to a set of traffic lights, i usually get locked out of first gear.
from stationary theres only a 50% chance i can select reverse first time, otherwise its into 1st, let the clutch out a bit, nudge forward, clutch back in then straight into reverse.
as of late ive got a bearing noise easily audiable out of gear and stationary... the noise evolves into a much angrier noise after 10 passes down the 1/4 mile or after 10 laps of barbagallo raceway.
ive found by changing into the next gear by 2,200rpm you can have a flawless run of shifting up though gears (without the gears clicking/hesitating)
and last but not least.. if i need to change back down through gears in a hurry, double clutching is a must (your only choice really) unless your carrying a low enough road speed.
that being said i still love my box, its held out well over time and im no pansey with it.
oh and i cant think of a worst gearbox to drag with, makes you wish you had a auto in there, but then you go to the circuit and...
good luck.
