Gearbox issue's

[Ashh]

I'm just gunna list my problems, and hope somebody can narrow down the cause and or a fix to them, Thanks

Difficult to engage 1st when changing down once stopped

Difficult to engage 2nd when changing up

Reverse crunches (badly) every time - I understand this is usually something to do with syncro or something?

Generally heavy feeling changes

Clutch is always to the floor when changing

Thanks, Ash.

You should check both the gear linkages and all engine mountings because a bad position of the engine can cause trouble getting into 1st gear, 2nd or R. I know (I'm not sure) that there isn't a syncro for reverse.

Would it be those 3 gears alone or would that effect all 6? if the engine was on the wonk that is

I don't know. Perhaps that will effect all 6 in time. Usually only those 3 gears are effect because they are placed at the limit of gearshift movement and there isn't enough space.

These are only suppositions and only a good mechanic can establish the actual cause.
