ashbuxton Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Had a mechanic friend fit my LSD box but he's just rang me with a problem. He's saying When you attach the cables to the box its dragging the gear stick over to one side so you cant select any gears.Anyone any ideas why this could be happening?Thanks in advanceAshley Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ashbuxton Posted June 17, 2017 Author Share Posted June 17, 2017 Sorted he'd put the cable bracket on wrong way around. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 (edited) The gearbox cable selector bracket that's bolted to the box to hold cables in place where the selector cable's are held in place with the U clipsWasn't far off haha Edited June 17, 2017 by 5e colin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ashbuxton Posted June 17, 2017 Author Share Posted June 17, 2017 Yer pretty close mate. Thanks again for the quick response. This box still crunching going into 2nd same as the last box. I assumed it was the box that was causing the crunching could it possibly anything else? It feel crunchy higher up like just below the stick? Any ideas? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
goldenvtr Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 could try adjusting the pedal (under the steering column) incase its not fully disengaging the clutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ashbuxton Posted June 18, 2017 Author Share Posted June 18, 2017 could try adjusting the pedal (under the steering column) incase its not fully disengaging the clutchWould that issue not cause all gears to not engage properly and not just 1st to 2nd? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ashbuxton Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share Posted June 19, 2017 I've owned 3 starlets and 4 gearboxes and every single one has had a 2nd gear crunch. Is it just me or does everyone's starlets crunch in 2nd? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Very very very common indeed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ashbuxton Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share Posted June 19, 2017 😩 tried sugarcube tonight aswell as new oil and still crunching safe to say synchros on their way out! Never mind rebuild when engine out for forging next year if gearbox survives that long! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
