Hi, Just bought my first RR P38 and love it. It's the poor mans model 2.5 DT with a manual gearbox and very few cabin toys to go wrong. So far I'm loving it, except for the pain that I'm having with 3rd and sometimes 4th gear.
There's nothing wrong with the gears themselves, they're smooth and work just fine. It's finding them on a change down that's the pain. I'm used to 3rd and 4th lining up with the rest point in neutral, i.e: from neutral push up for 3rd and down for 4th.
On mine they are off to the right just a touch. This can make for frantic change down from 5th to 4th and more common 4th to 3rd as I try to push to the right just enough to catch where 3rd gear is.
Is this a common complaint? and is it as I'm hoping, something as simple as a lose linkage that's putting it out of alignment?
TIA
