Clio 182 gearbox problem

[Pobox]

Hi all, I've recently returned to the 182 scene from a 197, anyway when I change up sometimes (more so when rushing the gearbox) I get a slight grind, not a crunch, it feels as if the gearstick isn't quite aligned with the box if that make sense? Any help appreciated

Is it from 2nd to 3rd at high rpm when you try and shift quickly?

Sometimes but not all the time, it will do it 4th to 5th, not going for it

2-3 it could just be you beating the synchros, could be wear to the synchro or dog teeth on the gear itself.

4-5 my money would be on low oil and the plastic wearing down or worn off the selector fork. drive along in 5th, pop it in to neutral for a sec, let the clutch up, dip clutch and pop it back in to 5th and see what it does.
