I'm renaming my gearbox - Lucy

[vanjam]

It is difficult to avoid the unpleasant conclusion that years of gearbox equality and diversity campaigns have failed to deliver the evanhandedness and fairplay that so many of us in the automotive engineering field have fought for long and hard.

Whilst we all acknowledge that varied response rates are part of the ebb and flow of this, and any other web forum, we must face up to the fact that a Gearbox called Johanna received the attention of 225 people whilst another, admittedly slightly androngenously called vanjam, received less than 10% of that.

Of course we could be excused for considering this a coincidence, a mere statistical blip, were it not for the added indictment of the actual response figures in which we see the true horror of the level of prejudice maintained with the male gearbox receiving only 5% of the responses.

I thought the time had come when all transmission unit problems could stand together and be respected and rewarded for their own qualities, challenges and complexities but this is clearly not the case.

Let's unite to ensure that the diversity of our metal lump problems is fully recognised and responded to; that we share our resources across the full, rich spectrum of transmissions; small, large, old, young, aluminium or steel. I implore you.

Good point,,,,,,that man.

In respect for all manual gearboxes may I suggest a 'Double your Clutch' day on the 1st October, in memory of all those who are no longer able to be resurected from the scrap bin.
