Just wondering if anyone can shed any light on a few issues with my Burman box on a Comet.
Changes are pretty good (including a nice silent snick into first and second), but changing up from second to third causes a small but noticable 'buzz' or 'graunch'. Third to fourth is fine. Changing down is all good except from second to first which can only be accomplished when you have practically stopped. Even walking pace will result in a 'graunch'.
The clutch is a Conways Honda and I'm pretty sure there's no drag. If there was, my experience is that neutral to first would be noisy. Changes are made nice and slowly. Primary chain is running in TQF as recommended by Conways and the box has the correct amount of Semi-Fluid Grease in it.
Also, I'm aware that the gearbox cases are different on the Comet, but are the internal gears etc. the same as AMC/Panther/Ariel?
Thanks for any help.
