R380 recon box

gillett33 · Sep 16, 2012

Hi all
after just replacing my fooked gear box with a recon unit from Thornton breakers, I have a few questions,

1, should the gear selections be nice and smooth or a bit notchy untill the box has had some time to wear in,

2, should it whine at all whilst crusing along at 50 mph

3, is it likely to be ok or am I just being paranoid????

Cheers Keith

You checked fluid levels ? might explain the whine

Also on a side note any idea when your mates collecting that bumper ?

Yes it was only installed yesterday and today is the first day of driving it,

As for the bumper Tuesday the 9th oct before their head home so possibly mid day but iv gave him your number to speak with you,
