*Urgent* gearbox question

[Timi]

Really need someones help.

My gearbox blew up and i have had another box fitted, the gearbox was fine when it was in the other car. I have had it fitted to my car and it slightly crunches into 3rd, only going up the gears not down???

Also had a new clutch fitted when the gearbox went in.

Does anyone have a clue what it could be?

Synchro-mesh is worn.

Cheers Scadden, have you had this problem?

Ive got a track day on Monday, what kind of problems may this cause?

Should be fine mate, mine has been crunching going into 3rd since I've had the car and I've done a few track days and it's been fine.

Although I have been told it would be better to repair it before I completely wear away the synchro-mesh.

one reason why you should strip and rebuild a 2nd hand box before fitting!

Yea I've got it just now, its from throwing it into to gear quicker than u can get the clutch in lol.
