bit of a gearbox worry
suggs:
Hi all we have just bought a 01 TD5, we have noticed that when changing from 2nd to 3rd theres sometimes a slight crunch, it happens about 3 in 10 gear changes its not a massive crunch but it is quite noticable you can feel it more than hear it, it only happens in 3 rd gear on up shifts even with the clutch pedal to the floor, im wondering if theres a syncro problem, its done 66000 miles, we bought it from a reputable dealer and have a warrenty, trouble is as its only a slight problem at the moment and intermittent theres nothing realy to show them your views please.
cheers

My 300Tdi does exactly the same thing H from 2nd to 3rd. No noise but you can feel it catch a little. Mine doesn't do it when I get the revs just right or if I wait for 1 second in neutral in between. Since my gearbox has done close to 200k I assume it is a worn synchro. No help sorry, but thought you might like company in your misery :wink:

change the gearbox oil for dexron 3 ATF & it should cure it
