Before I put the 347 engine in and got the GTD exhaust from Tony Law I had a 5.2 litre TVR engine and had a stainless exhaust made at JP exhausts at Mclesfield, superb quality, didn’t go back there because an owner of an original recommended Tony Law.

When I had mine made there, must be 14 years ago and it’s still on the car, they had 2 versions the original and a GTD version.

I agree, I have their exhaust on my car, when I bought mine I was offered the option of silencers or megaphones and at a reasonable price.

Still having difficulties, it’s not a pleasant gearchage at all, the disconnected rod shift works fine hot or cold, it’s definitely something to do with heat, pushed the car out of the garage this morning cold, the shift worked reasonably fine with engine off, left the car in the sun most of...

Good point, it's pretty obvious, why didn't I think of that.

Whenever the gearbox gets hot the gear change deteriorates to the point where getting it into gear becomes difficult, it's okay when cold, it's been like this since installation, it's got the quaif gear set and I've changed oil from semi through fully synthetic and mineral oil and it's made no...

Now sold

Ron, have I got everything OK now?
