Just letting you peeps know my first manual voyage was superb!!! Fu***n HELL its quick!! what a difference the manual box makes, spun the rears in 3rd and I was taking it easy! Too excited to put the bonnet back on, so took her out for a gentle 15 mins,very worried waiting for something to fall off, then felt a bit more confident and give it some throttle and shes off like a rocket!! The prop is vibrating like a T**t at 50mph, but I noticed the centre rubber was goosed when putting it back, so i need a new rubber or prop or 1 piece prop!!

So i`m really chuffed with myself as i have never attempted anything like this before, and with help from you guys it made it so much easier, so thanks

 

I`ve got a big shopping list of to do`s now, so i better get saving!

 

Daz :thumbup:

 

excellent news. cool taking her for a spin without the bonnet too.

Thanks Gaz, I havent got any mechanical knowledge!! I just used the ` how to manual` and went from there!! The stupid thing is though, I did everything on my own, but had to get my mate around to bleed the cluch as i didnt know how to :blushing:

 

I do now though!!

Bloody hell, bet he wasnt happy!! He must be putting some serious power out to do that!! :tongue_smilie:

To be fair he says not, only a small amount of boost when it went... Its got to have been either damaged, or shite quality!

 

Well done mate, i know exactly what its like to go from an auto car to a manual after i had my old one converted, it was absolutly amazing how much quicker it was! Honestly, auto guys as Daz says get it changed asap!

I have to say I love my auto it drives so well but if it all went wrong I could be converted. Never driven a manual zed so must give it a try if I ever see one in Belfast

Well done Daz. Welcome to the "Dark Side"

Well done mate! Welcome to the better side ;)

who did you get to make your prop?

Well my auto box failed and Zedworld converted my zed to manual

 

What I an say is manual makes you realise just how much power there is ther, but perversely, it also makes you realise how good the auto was at smoothing the power delivery. Awesome for a 10 - 20 year old auto box Manual is good though on an open road !

well done on doing the conversion yourself mate, its good when you tackle bigger work on our own zeds. makes you feel proud, you tried it and it all worked

Manual zeds all the way.........:clap:
