I've always thought 3rd gear was overrated anyway

or not as the case may be

Tripple'O G

Yeah it's driveable....

When it's in gear and moving you can hear what sounds like loads of tiny pieces rattling about....and no third gear at all......just a void where the one manic gear once rested

I was so impressed with the car's driving as well.....the pull and torque is/was amazing.....but may have sorted something out now
