zf gearbox

[gnc]

hello. i have fitted a ZF 310/320 gearbox, with the adaptor kit. and standard Sachs bmw clutch kit.+ a servo assist and a megasquirt ecu. in a cobra replica. the problem i have is that because maybe the flywheel is lighter its easy to stall it, and the throttle appears very sensitive. that combined with a hardly adequate jaguar handbrake, sitting traffic aint fun, any ideas to make it more driveable

Lighter flywheels are great in race cars but not good for the street where you need inertia.

If the megasquirt is capable, change the cable throttle out for drive by wire.
You can modulate the pedal to throttle ratio, making it less sensitive on small amounts of pedal, and aggressive when you give it more.

thanks for reply, thats what i was thinking, i was also thinking that if i changed the profile of the the throttle quadrant it may alter the initial response
