starletno1fan Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 i think my gearbox might be busted.I dno what happened, but now my 2nd gear crunches wen i try puttin it in while the revs are high. if i dip my clutch and let the revs drop then it wont crunch but otherwise it does it.You reckon its my gearbox that has gone or cud it be the gearbox oil etc?How much do these gearbox's go for 2nd hand?eric
starletno1fan Posted January 10, 2006 Author Posted January 10, 2006 aha found 1 on ebay for £40 with low mileage. but its like 250+ miles 1 way for me.
*Toymota* Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 i know exactly what you mean. mine does it occasionally but i had a mechanic look over it an my gear box is fine. think it was the way i was puttin it into gear or it just doesnt like goin into 2nd at high revs lol
miracle411 Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 Yeh it can be a bitch to shift sometimes, i find the starlet gearbox really notchy, i think scutch will agree.
scutch0 Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 yeah, mine did that at the thrash, i think geo said it was the the syncros or something... (im not clued up on gearboxes!) but ever since i changed my gearbox oil it revs to 6200 and goes into second no problem!i'd just live with it or change your gearbox oil.Rich.
Guest Enzo Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 this is a known week spot on all starlets and is a sign of the second and fith gear syncros starting to wear, this is due to inproper maintence its something i did not bother with on the sr, i went through two gearboxes because of it,,its not an urgent fix though but through time it will get harder to engage second and then it will start to pop out of gear,so id advice you to get your gearbox fluid changed if you havenot done the damage already,
SiCaln Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 gotta be honest in the three years I've had my starlet the gearbox has been lovely
scutch0 Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 yeah, my gearbox only started doing that at the thrash.... and geo enlightened me as to what it was! Rich.
starletno1fan Posted January 10, 2006 Author Posted January 10, 2006 okies, i'll get someone to check it out for me. cheers lads
