very worried about the gearbox if its a new jobby or if there is a number of mounts or components should look at first any one had a similar problem not going into 2nd gear however all the rest seem ok cheers any advice?????

This would be interesting to find out wot others say cause mine does the same if I try and do a quick change like someone would if they wer doing a 1/4 mile...

 

[Poopensharten]

Synchro mesh probably

 

[stacky]

so anyway of confirming this or is it just a new box or overhaul jobby advice please!!!

 

[Tom@JMS]

realign engine mounts, realign gear selector fork - if it still is playing up seriously then it's time for a rebuild.

 

[stacky]

cheers tom how do i go about doing this could you explain please?

 

[J@Y]

Does sound like ur syncro that. If u need a new box mate, I have one for sale

 

[stacky]

well i want a low milage one like 30000 pref and how much also what other options i got?

 

[Tom@JMS]

Extract, rebuild, refit with a new clutch whilst your at it.

I would push towards a rebuild over buying another SH box as it will still have questionable reliability.

Just out of interest, how much does it usually cost for a gear box re-build.

 

[Tom@JMS]

We use agency transmissions for ours, usually around £320.00 for the works. Brilliant service.

 

[Will.]

That's what I was expecting. Cheers mate.

 

[stacky]

[Tom@JMS]

Drop me a PM. I'll prepare a quote for you.

I highly doubt it after 3 years! Inflation, VAT increase and all that
