Hello all,
My 2011 roadster has always been reluctant to go into 1st gear, brands hatch are going to have a look next month (when they fit front spoiler) has anyone else experienced this with the roadster,

Hi Alan
My 2009 $/$ has a ford MT75 box, was always very stiff when cold, changed the oil to Amsoil and a shot off http://activ8lubricants.com. no more probs.
Have used the snake oil additive for years in my Desert bikes and the Challenge Jeep with the AMC 360 lump, diffs and also mix it with grease for my Uj's and the Morgan front suspension.
I think there was a change in oil spec (lighter) from Ford to over come this problem as well if you have the same box?

Hi Cain, Thats interesting, i will find out gearbox type and change oil if thats the case, but my box does remain stiff with first gear even when warm but im sure it fully dissengauges as theres no drag, on another matter i might see you on beaujolais rally.

Hi Alan

Hope to see you
