That made it better, but in one of the heats and one of the mains today on the same corner, it slipped for a second, then went again. Barely noticeable, but definately there, but only did twice all day
It's a high load right hander into a chicane that leads onto the straight. When you get on the throttle to change direction in the chicane to power out for the straight.
Is it possible that the trans shaft is worn enough for the 1 way to slip on it under very high load?
time for a rebuild
