Default Quaife big tooth gearboxes.. why do they...

....whine like franco's missus doing the bucking bronco

Is it the way that the teeth on the gears are cut? straight cut rather than not?

I might wrap it in googlebongs big yellow 'puffa' jacket to see if it silences it a tad!

Yes they whine... it's because the teeth are semi helically cut. (less of an angle than normal but not straight cut)

Sorry Dave.... The Puffa was burnt in the garden by Billabongs wife and daughter one day when he was out.....



And cant you remember when Big Nige had a Pete Doughty box in that old Escort Cossie of mine...

That used to whine in 2nd & 3rd


Anyway.. have you never been to a race meeting ?

It was nice... I have to admit... not a minter...

And I probably let the fat freak have it too cheap... but then after 7 days he'd killed the brand new clutch I'd just put in it and after 10 days he'd melted the engine doing a top speed challenge on the A1 at 2 in the morning.... bystanders said with the Ginger Boy in there it was like towing a Caravan... but Martin had nothing to worry about.... his record was safe

Dave, I told you it sounds like you're in Colin McRae rally ..... Fast Ford reckon it's more of a 'milk float' noise PMSL

As an ex-RST owner myself, I can understand that it sounds similar to an RST gearbox about to expire
