lobotomy Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Never had a problem with mine -- I've crunched 2nd a few times and ended up looking stupid, but that's because of the stupidly long throw on the standard gear change.Could be linkages mate, I'm not a big gearbox guru but could it be the synchro mesh?

miracle411 Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 I had a little bit of a similar problem in my old ep91, i used dropped the clutch down again then put it into gear, this only happened in 1st or reverse though, which happens in most cars i think.

Idrees Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Happens to the SR quite often. And it makes a gay noise when you put it in second whilst giving it some. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 i heard about changing the bearings...where can i get some from Joz my man??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oli_h Posted January 22, 2007 Author Share Posted January 22, 2007 its a pain to get in to second in high revs because i mentioned it to rich he said common but this is happening after ive been driving around for atleast 20 mins, its like the lever is stuck in a rectangle because il go to put it in the gears but its just a wall if you can understand my shite way of understanding and then i have to force it to get in to it which why it makes me think that the linkages might be fooked or some thing like lobo i dont know much really but i know it shouldnt be doing that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ecksjay Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 yeah moving that little block round helps infinately from what i heard.quickshift dont make much difference - just makes the throw shorter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
*Toymota* Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 my sr used to be a pain to get into 2nd gear at times! my glanza has a paddle clutch and quickshift and is occasionally difficult to get into 3rd Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oli_h Posted January 22, 2007 Author Share Posted January 22, 2007 ye it baffles me as i went to go see rich and he mentioned it he had a look but all is fine maybe its just one of those things Quote Link to post Share on other sites
