When i drive the car normally the gear changing is perfectly fine, sweet as a nut, but when I give it beans changing from 1st - 2nd and from 3rd - 4th makes a kind of a crunching noise, like you've forgotten to push the clutch in (which I have )It all goes in to gear fine, don't have to fight with it, it just makes an orrible noise.

Can anyone help with this, what is it ? ?

Help much appreciated

Sounds like synchros to me. Either change gear more slowly or put a decent oil in your box, that useually seems to do it.

Cheers,

Check your oil level you could be running low

Mine used to do quite bad between 4th and 5th.

Then i changed the oil to Castrol Syntrax and the crunching disappeared.
