Help Please - Gear Problem

[wayne_leeds]

Hi

 

Can anyone advise me of what may be wrong.

 

Got a Galaxy GLX 1.9TDI 1996 P reg - when i go into 2nd gear at high revs it makes a crunching sound and sometimes slips into neutral.

 

Help Please just dont tell me its the gearbox or anything equally expensive :P

 

Thanks

mine started doing something similar just before the ball joints on the gear selector cables gave up the ghost. if you can, try checking if there is too much play on the gearbox end of the selector cables

If its not what familyman suggests then from recent experience with a Rover, sounds like a worn 2nd synchromesh gear ...... have you tried double - declutching to see if it stops the crunching. I think that may confirm your problem if it is the synchromesh but I'm no expert on this gearbox or any come to that ....I'll just shut up.... Hope its something simple matey.
