When changing up or down from 1st to 2nd it grinds into gear but doesnt if driving slowly. Does it sound like syncro or gears.

It is possible to beat the syncro (though you have to be fast) so it maybe that when you slow down no problems.

SO:

1. Slower gear changes
2. Syncro may have gone
3. Replace sync and gear cogs after an inspection has taken place
4. Get a second hand box
5. Before 2 onwards take it to a specialist, also when was the oil changed and have you checked the levels?

Could also be a clutch problem.

it's the syncros most probably, change the gearbox oil for Castrol Syntrax if it's not been done for a while (about 4 litres off the top of my head) it's been know to cure alot of gearbox problems otherwise new syncros, but that's a pain to do
