Default Fiddlesticks!

I've just blown 5th on the S2

Can't complain really, original gearbox, and ive had the over 7 years driven daily!

Other gears are fine, but she's a bit clattery on idle with clutch up. Proably get the gearbox centre round the corner to do it. Doubt i'll get 7 years out of the new one though..
