Hi everyone,

I received the Lego Technic GT3 RS set as a gift a few years ago and finally
have time to build it. I read online that there is a problem with the transmission
in that the gears are not sequential. There is a document that provides a parts
list of how to fix it. I am going to display it in a case but would find the
fix interesting to have the PDK working. Is it worth doing the fix and can all
the parts be purchased from one place on this forum?

Thank you

Dave

Hi Dave,

I cannot speak to whether or not it is worth it to do the fix, but you can certainly
make a wanted list to obtain the necessary parts. Once the list is created, it
will find all the shops that have the needed parts and depending on what you
set your maximum price for each item, yes, there is a possibility that all parts
could be obtained from one store. You can also choose to buy in country, North
America, etc. I typically set my wanted list prices about 20% higher than the
six-month sales average so that I will have more stores in that pool to avoid
paying shipping from multiple stores. You can also choose to buy new, used or
no preference and that will also add more stores to the pool. There are many
threads on here how to make a wanted as well as on YouTube. Best of luck with
your build!
