can any share their idea with my gear box prob.

Normal driving is as should be but if i floor it in 2nd try enter 3rd i can never find it, the box will not go into 3rd if i use high revs/on boost, ill have to keep the cluth in wait for the revs to fall and then try for 3rd which goes in then get back on the power. I prob on use 2nd this way maybe once/twice a month but would rather know whats going on?

id try and bleed the clutch Smile

When your driving does it pop out of 3rd into neutral?

Sounds like 3rd gear synchro fault

Ah sorry no it does not pop out ever, in fact 3-5th are all strong and can be pushed fine.

synchro fault hmm why does that sound like ££££ Razz

nope just as silent as the other gears it just wont go in if floored from second i never have forced it mind i just come of the power let the revs fall from say 5,000rpm to 3,000 then shes engages back to warp speed

Totally agree, this can happen on 5 and 6 speed, it does not affect gear strength.

it could be worth having the fluid changed, the millers (crx nt) stuff is the dogs bollix, noticable smother gear changes, a 5 speed holds aprox 4 ltrs

As the risk of sounding stupid that just an oil change of the box and diff?
