  1. Thanks again... I can't quite follow your comment Pete - can you explain in more detail? Best wishes Simon
  2. Many thanks guys The noise sounds just like the last time and the clutch was found to be mangled and bearing shot in gearbox.... but I'll have a look first. Simon
  3. I have a Mark 3 Spitfire that was upgraded by Jigsaw about 3 years ago to a stage 2 engine with a Type 9 gearbox (supplied by Frontline), amongst other mods. It has had continual gearbox and clutch issues since day 1 and after the fourth return to Jigsaw and another big bill I lost faith and refused to return the car to them unless they undertook to honour their warranty for work done i.e. no cost to me. They didn't... we fell out - and I managed to kill the then horrible grinding noise with a clutch fluid bleed. It had been returned to me with a new clutch cylinder! The old problem is happening again - clunking of gearbox under load - suspect probable bearing failure. Has anybody else had this happen to them with this conversion? Can anybody recommend a specialist to look at it - the car is gorgeous to drive when it works! I am based in Berks but it can go wherever to somebody who knows what they are doing! Simon
