Medicine_Man Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 On the way to work this morning my gearbox started doing naughty things, just got on the highway and this stupid lady decided she wanted to do 80km/hr in the right hand lane in a 100km/hr zone, nobody else in the left lane for like another 800m, I changed to third gear and proceeded to accelerate past her in the left lane. Went to snap fourth gear and just about snapped my hand in the process, alas!, gearstick was stuck in 3rd gear!!!! :) decided to then clutch and pull the gearstick with all my might out of 3rd into neutral, then into 4th, then released the clutch, was a bit crunchy getting into 4th, but i got it in, then going to 5th was smooth, so I decided to keep going to work, coming off the highway i babied it into 4th, then 3rd and it was smooth, 2nd and 1st no troubles, so looks like its got some upcoming issues :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medicine_Man Posted September 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 Box isn't running hot, I know its full of oil, must just be bad synchros, still goes, just have to baby it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medicine_Man Posted September 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 Bad synchros with that sound? do you even know what a synchro is? lol My guess is the main bearing in the gearbox, cause it goes quiet in 4th never said the bearings weren't causing the sound, but bearings don't make it get stuck in gear when you slam it in..
