its for my mate... he cant get it into 3rd gear if accelerating quite/very hard. if he drives normal its fine, but when putting his foot down he has to really force it into gear. is there a common fault or specific fault? thanks

 

I use to have same problem and so did my mate aswell but our problem was for second gear tho. We over came that, one day i tho fu*k this im sick and tired of this bullo*x !! I just riped out gear box gave it a proper cleaned out and put it all back2gether with fresh oil and u aint gona believe it but the out come was a result !

Cheers

 

cheers mate Ill tell him. Has anyone else had the same problem, or know what it could be?

 

anyone?

 

Is is coming of the throttle when he engaes the clutch right?

 

sounds like the syncro rings are worn,

the only way to get this sorted if already tried clean oil would be to have the gearbox removed stripped and inspected,
you can tell if they are worn when out the box as they wont grip the gear to slow it as the selection is being made.
plus while it is stripped all other syncro`s and bearings can be checked.

better to get it sorted rather than forcing/crunching the gear.

cheers, Tom
