Not yet mate, want to make sure its all behaving rather than be fiddling around fixing stuff while its bolted to the dyno costing me $200+ an hour.

Jumping out of third could be engine mounts or bellhousing bolts binding.

If you hang a bag off the gear lever it won’t jump out of third

Spoke to the gearbox guy who reconditioned the gearbox today, he is of the belief that if there was a misalignment issue between the engine and the gearbox it would misbehave in EVERY gear not just 3rd, and that seeing I fitted a non standard tail housing with a Chinese short shifter that would be the first place to start looking so that is the next job.

how does one car cause so much grief, i could never drive it if it ever got finished (it never would get finished if i owned it) i'm to superstitious it would be cursed as far as i was concerned
