Broken my gears | Strip down begun | WARNING Lots of Engine Porn !
Quick story to explain what happened....
Following traffic in 4th gear which suddenly stops. I forgot to shift down and am stuck in 4th gear. The traffic started moving again when i realized i was still in 4th and not moving very quickly. I dropped it down a gear or at least i thought i did and released the clutch and revved the engine but it seems it wasn't in any gear. I started rushing and panicking a little so i hit the down shift without the clutch unfortunately with the rev's still quiet high (5-8k) and BANG, i went into 3rd, wheel spun and away i went. This all happened in about 5-10 seconds.
Now there is a horrible grinding noise on load and lift off in 2nd gear !
What do peeps reckon I've done ?
I'm going to look into removing the gears in the coming days, anyone ever done this ?
Cheers,
Adam
