R33GOD Posted July 21, 2007 Author Share Posted July 21, 2007 the box got reconditioned 1 yr ago. it feels pretty good. it feels smooth still. On cold start/drive its hard to get into gear and it feels abit rough. i think my clutch is on its way also Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/177543-is-this-normal/#findComment-3242237 Share on other sites More sharing options...
markimak Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 prob not built properly.. could be partial machining files.. is it the first box service since the build..?

VIP32 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 This is normal, also since you have only done the oil once on a new box. Dont stress on it as the filings are supposed to gather there.
