i've noticed that the severity of the crunch when shifting into 3rd from peak rpms in 2nd has recently worsened in my gearbox
having had a little play, i've also noticed that i can drive around it by short-shifting (at, say, 50-55, instead of 60)
my question is, will the crunching make its way down the rev range as wear progresses, or is this a 'safe' way of continuing with it?
i can be as lazy as i like with the shift at 60; it'll still crunch - seems rev related, rather than shift. the gearbox has already been rebuilt recently (30k ago) and i don't really want to go through the financial trauma again if i can just drive around the problem - wondering what people think
thanks
