Potential Tiger Buyer..... Give me your thoughts..LONG POST

Can't agree more on the number of neutrals - sometimes soft as a feather all the way through to a hell of a bang. Same is true for going up through the gears - mechanic says that these boxes sweeten with age - don't know what everyone elses experience has been - don't have enough miles on my 03 yet

Hi Dave



You want to transform your BM gearbox??,drain the porridge that passes of as gearbox oil,and replay it with a fully synthetic one,i use Mobil 1,it takes a leap of faith i'm afraid,as they are completely opposite,but does it make a difference!!!,even find neutrel when it's cold!!!

I actually just did my 6000 mile service & changed the tranny & final drive to synthetic.  It makes a serious difference!  The 1st gear clunk is still there of course but not quite as bad.  Overall though things are smoother.  I'll ty synth in the engine at 12,000 miles too.  :)
