[QUOTE="Signature Only, post: 1033247, member: 21043"] [COLOR=#0000ff][SIZE=3][FONT=verdana]When Jaguar completed their comeback in 1988 with a well deserved victory at LeMans, nobody knew just how close they came to losing. The winning car, Number 2, started jumping out of gear with an hour or so left. The driver was able to nurse the car, the gearbox was stuck in 4th, due to the tremendous torque produced by the 7 litre 60 degree V12. Jan Lammers finished 2 minutes ahead of the 2nd place Porsche 962C. After the race it was discovered that the secondary input shaft was cracked. If Lammers had attempted to shift just once or twice more, the shaft would have disintegrated, tearing the gearbox to shreds and the race would have been lost.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
