:) actually the 1*2 gearbox is very good. Talking to MF a while back said they are pretty bomb proof. Though he had a track 182 in that had given up from the constant crashing down through the gears but most gearboxes wouldn't take a lot of that.

From experience of friends box failures, the issues generally occur through poor technique, ie the inability to heel & toe on track or when downchanging from high revs ...

That's pretty much exactly what I meant, must try to concentrate on one thing at a time.

Sorry H, I fully understood your explanation, should have credited you with the "giving it large" definition also ;-)

No no no, Dave's explanation was much better than mine, I was hurrying, I just wanted to say that we were thinking along the same lines.
