Crunching down and up into 3rd

[jimjam]

Any idea on what it could be people???

[micky boy]

Gear synchro?

[morgey]

Syncro mines doing it into 2nd

[jimjam]

Cost much to repair???

[AdamB]

The synchro's themselves are fairly cheap, its the labour of doing the job. Unless you fancy tackling it yourself.

[morgey]

Its a gearbox out, pull apart, replace parts reassemble and refit gearbox.

Most people just swap gearbox

[jimjam]

Lol sounds like a fair amount of work lol

I spent £560 rebuilding my box on Monday, that was a new 5th gear, all synchro's/bearings and seals.

Bloody expensive but at least it's a strong box now.

Check the cheap free stuff first. Bushes cables clutch freeplay and gear linkages.

Syncro is around 30, be carefully not to bust 5 gear hub when removing

@ yaristurbo is it really hard as there are not many mechanics to work on gearbox where im from so planing on doing it myself

have you replaced any worn bushes on the gearlinkage or checked for play mine cruntched and grinded years ago used the bearing upgrade and mines sweet might be worth a try also if you have done bearing upgrade might be worth checking there in flat. just some small cheap/free things to look.for
