[medici999]

3rd to 4th gear.

anyone know the possible reasons for this?

 

[Beef-Mc]

Knackered gear synchro.

 

[medici999]

expensive to fix?

 

[Aluco]

Recon box isn't it ? £3-400

 

[Budgie]

Yep. Recon or new box.

Uh-oh.

 

[medici999]

so you wouldnt buy a cup with this problem?

or is it still fine to drive around until you can afford to fix it?

 

[Henry]

depends how bad it is i guess - could try renewing the oil and engine mounts to see if that makes it any easier. probably best to find one that doesn't crunch if you're shopping for one

 

[Aluco]

Wouldn't buy one with a crunch box purely because it's hasstle to get it sorted.
