Notchy boxes, does Q shift make it worse?

[Joules]

I am upgrading my S4 presently and one item on the agenda is the shifter. However the 6 speed is not the smoothest of items and can give trouble 2nd & 3rd. Just wondered if anyone noticed things getting worse after they fitted a Q shift.

To be honest ..its confusing because higher rev holding during gear changes for me is the smoothest change. Driving like a granny produces the notchiness...Strange...? Logix would suggest a quicker and more forced gearchange would put more pressure/wear on the syncro?

A short shift will make a big difference to the feel of the gear-change....however if you want a better gearchange then you need a Drivetrain stabilser. This removes the drivetrain shunt by supporting the gearbox. AmD do them [img]images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

do you know if they make something similar for the S2 because all seem to suffer with a notchy gearbox

Hi Greg,

Sorry, cannot help you?? I had 4 S2's and all had less than smooth gear changes. On one I lost 3rd all together.

I lost 1st and 2nd on my S4 once. [img]images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
£6k warranty gearbox change sorted that though. [img]images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]
