I was considering that, but John Thorne was telling me there's all sorts of problems converting a CSL to manual, regarding the wiring loom etc

Do you data log your laps Steve? if so what were your corner entry speeds????

The datalogger's not working for some reason, I've not managed to log all season. I'll try and get it properly sorted and working over the winter!

Corner speeds = too slow
Straight line speeds = too slow
Pit Entry Speed = perfect

To be fair there are others racing who have had no (or next to no) problems at all. My problems have all started at the ring - and what happens? I put in a brand new box in May, and everything is fine but then at the ring in August it starts crunching from 3rd to 4th again.

Nope, but considering this, and also changing the oil used in the box. I'm not sure if its the gearbox oil, or the SMG fluid that needs cooling?

You looked like you were doing ok to me

I am surprised at how much of a handful your car looks compared to ours, you seem to have to wrestle it through the corners. Clearly works for you as the lap times show, but I reckon it would have me off at the first corner!

The SMG on Nathans lasted for an hour and a half of racing at Snetterton before it started messing about - I think he ran cooling to the SMG gubbins. There should be no reason that SMG couldnt cope with a 20 min race?

Even when it did start playing up it was nowhere near as bad as that.

Fingers crossed you get it sorted.

Disagree, mine has run all year without issues. The issue we had woith the paddles was simple wiring, the gb itself is very strong. Steve has som sever issues hat need to be identified though.

its doable but expensive and time consuming. I rekon fix the problem, as I'm 00% confiden that it can be fixe.

Dodgy keyboard or Morphine kicking in?

I'd say it should be fixable too, if all the mechanical bits have been changed then start looking at the electronic side of things?
