Hi All

when im driving steady away and change from 4th to 5th gear it doesnt feel hard and feels perfected, but when im booting it and go from 4th to 5th i encounter more resistance and theres a slight noise as it pops into 5th why?
Am i a crap driver or what

 

newage?

mine doesn't like going into 5th at higher rpm...

5t.

 

I would guess at 5th gear syncro.

 

yes mate its an 04 and its only got 30k on it.......

i can live with but i just try toboot it up to fourth let it slow down then put it in fifth but thats the short term solution

 

Is it like a crunching sound? If so its just the syncro... don't worry about it...

 

I had a crunch from third to fourth. The only way to stop it at high speed was to double the clutch.

Only crunches at higher revs because its harder for the synchros to synchro if you know what I mean.

Best way to stop it is replace the box under warranty
