How much play is acceptable
« on: 29 March 2014, 21:42 »
Hi guys whilst I had my gearbox off today had a little look at the old snail and found about 1mm play in and out and about the same side to side is that healthy or do I need a hybrid lol

as long as it isn't catching the housing the oil pressure will take up the play. but it all comes down to how fussy you are and how many miles you want to cover before looking at it again?

It sounds completely broken to me. You definately need a hybrid immediately.  :whistle:

Nah he stopped selling them due to 'work issues'. Bit of a coincidence that somebody was having an issue with one and all of a sudden they are no longer sold.

Unsure myself whether to wait it out or just fit a k04? If it blows up i can just cheaply replace it etc

Is the tip the only thing you need for the k300 or is it more than that if it's more May as well ko4 it as that will hopefully close me in on 270ish but that's only 30 bhp more than I have now so just not sure
