mileage isn't the issue.

Could be loads wrong with it.

Give it a decent service and see if that helps.

Yes, that's stock plugs. The difference for the bkr6 is the temp, is it? If I put them will it run hotter or cooler? Rolling Eyes

the gearbox speedo issue.

If the cable hass pulled out but left the metal part in then screw a bolt into it and pull it out, always works, common problem.

What speeds does it get to in 4th?
