willy 1 gearbox noises!!

[bully]

Just been out in my willy and i have noticed that when i change up from 2nd to 3rd quickly(ie giving it a bit of stick!!) i get a slight crunch! i have done some experimenting as i thought i may have been lazy with my foot but it is defo making a crunch when i change quickly....if i take my time and make a "normal" change it is fine...is this a problem or do they all do it? any ideas?

Maybe sync going, it doesnt "keep up" with your quick shifting. Mine did the same year ago, but went away when oil was changed and didnt trash it for a while. Hows your gearbox oil?

change the gearbox oil.if that doesnt help you will need to strip the box and change the 3rd gear synchro+gear.

Ok i will change the oil.....how much would i be charged to replace synch?

parts pretty cheap but the labour to do it wouldnt be.gearbox removal and strip.
