I think I am experiencing transmission wind-up, and would like your opnions and advice.
After about 20 miles thru the lanes and A roads, my Ferret feel almost like its pulling back under power...like the engine is really struggling....would you say that is wind-up?
I checked the tyre diameters as suggested in another post, and they are pretty close (within an inch of each other as far as I can make out).
I know you can relieve this by driving up and down kerbs...alledgedly....but do I need to get a wheel off the ground to relieve it? So the question is...how fast do I drive off a kerb, and how high should that kerb be?
Could I just use a bottle jack to quickly lift one wheel on each side, or do I need to get each wheel off the ground in turn?
