Driving Habits

I've noticed that when i sit at the lights, i rest my hand on the gear shift (4wd details below), does this hurt the gearbox??

[BushTuckerNed]

can i ask how u think its hurting it?

[Maverick93]

i dont think it is, just if u move the shifter forward or back its makes some kind of mechnaical noise

[BushTuckerNed]

well i have just been told this because i have not heard of it and thats y i asked in the first place

"resting your hand on the gear shift can put a small amount of load on the selectors ,in return that can put presure on the syncro rings and wear them out prematurely"

[Maverick93]

thanks for that

also it may wear the numbers of the top of the stick

[crustyundies]

and if there is bad vibration and you have soft hands you may get a blister. ;D

They are quite possibly the funniest laughing rolling things i have ever seen Boof!!

Nice work

P.S. I can confirm that resting your hand on the gearstick will wear the numbers out

So definitely DO NOT rest your hand in your lap... :o :o :o
