Notchy gear change.

[Alex_225]

Any ideas why the gears would be slightly less smooth going from 1st to 2nd, 2nd to 3rd. Or vice versa, seems to mostly be around 2nd gear though.

Doesn't always seem to be a problem, maybe its just me not timing the clutch properly as its on a new car I just got.

Its a 1.4 Cliot RT on a 1993 reg, with 69k on the clock.

Any suggestions would be great.

Cheers

Try changing the box oil, seemed to do the trick on my Valvers/Williams

OK mate, I'll see what I can do.

It just sometimes a bit harder to get it into second or out into 3rd compared to the other gears. I'm hoping its not anything like the gearbox/clutch.

How much is gearbox oil likely to cost me to replace?

Depends what you use Halfords etc well say £25 then 50p for a new copper washer (make sure you change it else it leaks). More expensive stuff can be used if you want.
