Alright... two problems with coopa at the moment, none serious but annoying none the less.

First off, 3rd is getting a little difficult to get into. The car has a shortshift however im not sure what it is, might be a KAD might be a minisport, i dont know. Anyway, going up into third from second is quite difficult, i have been able to double into it, however sometimes it grabs first? This only really happens when the car is under load, ie, when im pushing it. low rpm it is fine.

Secondly, at around 5000rpm, it makes some sort of rattle noise. Sounds like from the LHS but cant be sure it makes so much noise at that rpm its hard to tell. The engine reaches peak power at 6800 apparently, and gets there fine when its in neutral (its actually quite happy to go up there).

Opinions? Thoughts? Car isnt taken out regularly and these issues can be lived through however id like to get them fixed!

For the third gear issue check that the two screws holding the top plate if the gearstick ballie thing in place are tight i couldnt select third recently amd one of teh screws had popped out and fell into the ball+ cup area and blocked third

Well what i meant by difficult to get into, was that it goes.... CRUNCH! like there was no syncro. but then it shifts from 4th back to 3rd perfect? and 2nd to 3rd fine at lower rpms (3k).... odd.
