ok, so the clutch was done, not too long ago and to be fair the car pulls hard and doesn't slip ..

However on boost the 4th gear catches and now and then 1st does when the car has idled for a while.

If its normal driving all gears are perfect ..

Any ideas ? the guy in the garage didn't find anything.

Sounds like synchro on the gearbox mate.

Expensive?

Well if it is that it's a gearbox out job then either replace with another box if you can source one or have your existing box split and investigated / re built.
Either way, not a cheap job. :-(

Don't sound good mate when I had my synchro replaced at Dyno Demon it was about £350. At least I knew after that it was all sound inside, buying another box is a mine field IMO

Have to add mate, stick some Castrol Syntrax in the box as on one of my others it cured a slight crunch for over a year. If its had normal oil in it won't be happy.

Dave checked the oil, said it looked good.

Even if it was at the right level etc I'd still put Syntrax in. It's designed for Japanese boxes and people swear by it. My crunching went away instantly and never came back. Not saying that it's not the synchro but cheapest option first and all that. Plus you can check the mag plug for any excessive metal.

To be honest I wouldn't have a clue .. I'll speak to Dave ... Cheers
