Hi Tony,
Thanks for the encouraging words about the gears - the noise was certainly a surprise to say the least. I guess it depends on how noisy is noisy?...
My car is on the 5.625 Nippy back axle so a little lower ratio than your car so the higher 3rd will hopefully be fine. I was recommended these gears as being superior to the standard Nippy ratios so followed the advice.
The bigger issue is that my car simply isn't going at all well and, as I've mentioned previously, any slight incline is quickly down to 2nd and a slow slog over it. My other engine, prior to making nasty noises towards the back end of last year, has always gone extremely well - comfortable cruise all day at 55 and climb anything with ease. I was expecting this engine to be at least as good but, so far, something is amiss and I don't really know what to try next.
Hopefully somebody will know how to sort it?
Best wishes,
Nick
