Ian C Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 As above just wonded why they are diffrent. I believe Chris Wilson answered this once or twice. It's to deal with someone choosing a lower gear instead of a higher one, overrevving the engine and trying to make the cambelt jump off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 You mean ancillary belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Sudden torque reversal will make the belt tensioner pulley spring have a wobbler and the belt might come off due to going slack. The damper on manual versions stops it. You'd have to be a total animal with the gearbox and clutch to do it. It would have originally have been for the US market Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dude Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 what auto box and power was that at Dude That was the Boostlogic box and 4200 rpm converter, Power was enough to run 10's at mid 130's, it came off at Bruntingthorpe and the pod so after that I fitted the 6 speed damper and it never happened again, I THINK Leon also used to have to run one.
