Gearbox issue
It was really nice to drive the car out the garage, however on the test drive it seemed that I had a fault in the gearbox, 2nd gear would not engage when changing from 1st or 3rd. Pulling way in 2nd gear didn't sound "good".
After several hours messing with the gear selector and gear selector rod unfortunately it seemed that it really was a fault in the gearbox.
With the car so close to being finished not what I wanted!!! Engine out time!!!!!

| Engine and gearbox out |
Once the engine was out I did notice a small leak from the flywheel seal, a new seal has been fitted, sort of made me feel a bit better about having to take the engine out. It would have needed to come out at some point in order to fix the leak.

The problem in the gearbox has been fixed, it needed adjustment to the 1st/2nd gear layshaft and reverse gear.

| Happy gearbox ready to refit |
Engine & gearbox back in the car, quick test drive and 2nd gear now works 😅
IVA Prep
I have gone through my check list of all things relating to the IVA test. Below are a few photographs of the items where the edges need to be "softened".
If anyone wants my check list then let me know, it may not be complete but its a good start
Car overview ready for IVA
I think I have the car ready for IVA, fingers crossed. Booked in for first week of March, just need a dry day!!
Once through the IVA there is still a few jobs to do.
