who runs a dragon gear box brace

[g11ary]

The whine will have probably always been there but had no where to transmit it to, now the whine is felt and heard as it vibrates through the brace as its metal to metal as a shock absorber.
Have you changed oil lately? if you have a whinny box it could be in need of a change or just tired

its had oil changed within the last 1000 miles, i also mounted my brace on rubber pads, its not the vbration through the car that bothers me, i just dont want to have to change my box if it gives up because of the brace!

Got both gearbox and diff brace on mine and they\'ve tightened the car up a great deal which i\'m totally impressed with.

I asked Ross about the added noise and vibration and he assured me that no extra stress on the box. The brace has just taken the slack out of the box from what i understand.

If all your going to do is blast around the roads your box will last for ages surely,but if you intend on drag or circuit racing then you will wear the box out alot faster.

hi pete,

i intend on dragging it as well, i have a spare box but dont want to have to keep replacing them if the brace will cause a problem. in my mind if something makes a noise that its not supposed to then something isnt 100% right.

PS im not ranting on about any particular make of brace just the noises i get from the box after fitting it.

You\'re the engineer dave, you probably know best of anyone!

Good point! Well if your not happy with it then take it off. Unless Ross can ease your worries?!?!?
