Thanks for that guys.

Had the dreaded 0 appearing,  done the exact thing I shouldn't be doing by putting car into neutral at traffic light.

In your experience when that happens what do you do?  Restart the car?

G'day YcMing,
When i get the dreaded 0, i make sure i have stopped completely and quickly while the brake is pressed, put it in reverse and back in forward, then nearly allways its back to normal.
Have fun when you have the next dreaded 0.
Greetings,
Eddie.

Thanks! Will remember that for next time.

Change the box oil,  I think the gear change is less abrupt.  For anyone looking I am using the Castro transAxel stuff about 13 quid a litre, used under 2.

Also found a garage that can adapt the clutch,  I guess will have that looked at if any problem persists.

You guys been great and put me at eased about this.
