172 cup slight grind when selecting 2nd



  phase 1 172
just bought a 172 cup today as a donar as it has juat had a few new parts fitted i needed for my 172 non cup

issue iv noticed is if im not carefull changing from 1st to 2nd its notchy and theres a slight grind,if i change up at 3k or lower it hasnt done it at all but if not carefull 4k plus it starts

the clutch feels notchy too which got me pondering

could it be the clutch is doomed or not set up right or is this the RS box failure impending

could be clutch or a kippered synchro

its not impending doom, mines been like it downchanging into 3rd and notchy in all gears when cold for ages and its got no worse, just show some mechanical sympathy and it'll be fine.

sounds promising then,its not a complete dissaster if the box was doomed but a spare would be nice or to flog even to fund uk unleaded prices lol
 
  phase 1 172
going to get my spanner and hammer out today since i have another few days off work

the more i think about it the more i need satisfy my own curiosity lol

2nd gear on mine slots in lovely you can feel it engage/lock in if you like, on tje donor it doesnt it just works or slighly grinds when not gentle

rods not aligned?
