slight crunch from 2nd to 3rd gear

[coxxy]

My car has developed a slight crunch going from 2nd to 3rd gear. Its fine coming down a gear from 4th and if i change really slow. Ive change the gearbox oil which made it seem fine for a bit. The gearbox was a recon about 12k ago. Is it a worn syncro?

Yes mate sound like syncro when they did the recon they don't always change ever part in the box they only do what looks or needs doing so might have been ok that's why they only put a year on most boxes

Is it as simple as stripping the box change the synchro and put back together

i managed to speak to the gearbox people and he said it would cost about £175 to change the 3rd gear synchro. He said it wont need all the bearings done because they were all done when the box was last open. Is this a good price or shall i look else where.

Agency transmissions have good reputation
