Hi People,

I'm new here so bare with me. I have a 2004 sti type uk with ppp.

Some of my gears are starting to crunch mainly from 4th to 5th and from 5th - 6th when changing fast. If I change slowly they still feel stiff compared with other gear changes. This issue seems to be getting worse and I had a crunch from 1st to 2nd this morning.

Is this signs of a new cluch being needed or a fault with my gearbox perhaps?

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Josh

 

Hi mate.I have a tuned 05 STi and i have found in the winter months until the car has warmed up occasionally 1st to 2nd can be nervy for me.It seems fine in better weather but i find not rushing gear changes-even when driving hard can help.Hope this is of use.

 

Yeah my gears are bad until the car has warmed up. I have been speaking with a few garages and they seem to think it could be the syncro mesh which is going. I understand that you pay by the gear to fix this?

How would would this cost per gear any ideas? How much would a replacement recon gear box be?

Thanks people.

 

Might be worth get the gearbox oil changed first
contact oilman think thats his name he should be able to sort you out and his cheap

 

Can someone else offer any advice on this? Help is appreciated.
