Hi
I was wondering why my gears chrunch when I shift 2nd to 3rd gear. Is there a difference in gearbox between a stock V6 and the SV6? like the stock gearbox is rougher? I checked all clutch fluid and **** and that's all sweet. I'm not to crash hot on cars but I'm learning, any tips?

How many Ks has the car done? The syncro into 3rd might be starting to wear if the clutch is all good. The same happens in our work ute.

The slight difference in the stock v6 and SV6 would be a manual and auto gear box... only a slight difference

Shut up sedan boy, the 175 in the utes ran a 6 spd box.

If its under 100,000 clicks, then theres no reason for 3rd to be crunching. I'd guess a previous owner (if it's second hand) has been thrashing it and trying to grab 3rd too quick. our work Hilux crunches 5th coz everyone tries to flat change into 5th
