When I'm doing hasty gear changing from 2nd to 3rd sometime it just doesn't want to go in. Its only happens when your absolutely gunning it and then it all goes t*ts up. Get in there I'm shouting !

I think the problem is my left foot

Try putting Castrol Syntrax(i think they have changed the name of it now-do a search) into it,available from Halfords-Its specially formulated for jap gearboxes.You'll be suprised on how much better the gearchange will be.

easy

Syntrax is now called Driveline. Buy direct from Castrol - much cheaper. Go to:
