Hi guys took my commer fire engine out over the weekend it has the cylinder petrol sloper engine with 4 speed crash gearbox, I'm really struggling coming bk down gears going up box is fine but really struggling 4th to 3rd
And need to be at walking pace for 2nd gear
I'm double declutching coming down box and blipping throttle a little to help things along but still struggling
Also what are your thoughts on fitting fully synthetic oil to gearbox
So engine and gearbox speeds stay closer for longer
I know this will open a can of worms but any help tips would be appreciated
