crunching into second gear.

(1/3) > >>

squaddie_fox:
i want to make sure i have the right diagnosis before i go out and buy stuff i dont need :roll:


when i change from first to second, and occasionaly second to third, in the disco (95' 300tdi manual) it crunches. doesn't happen if i let the revs drop right off. sometimes does it into reverse from standstill aswell. happens in high and low so i cant change quickly when i need to!  :evil:

thanks in advance.

J B:
its the synchro's gone in the gearbox

you could try a different oil, i about to try a 75/90 semi-synthetic in mine, i'll let you know how it goes

or to cure it properly its new/recon box time  :shock:

squaddie_fox:
thats what i thought! [!Expletive Deleted!]!



will try some new oil and if that doesn't work i will have to stayoff the beer for a while! :(

J.D.:
Just double declutch mate, I have to do it on first, second and third in my truck, and every single gear change in a certain big olive drab green machine.

Range Rover Blues:
Clutch is dragging, the crunching into reverseis the giveaway, coupled with perhaps a weak set of synchros, second usually goes before any otheres.
