howdy...
i've bene noticing that my car is particulaly hard to chang into secon gear sometimes... well, its not hard, the stick just thros back and forth a bit as i pull it down into 2nd.... i know new cars dont do this, as i used to drive 300 cars a day (ex valet dude)... so, i usually double clutch... giving the gearbox time to slow down. and the changes are MUCH smoother, and the stick doent try and jump around in my hand, it feels exactly like it starts to go in, then hits a tooth, and pushes it back out.... well,thats how it feels anyway
is this the synchros going or something else? its a VR Exec 5 spd man with 171,000 k's on the clock.....
if so, does this mean big $$$ in sourcing another gearbox, or a lot of labour hours in getting the gearbox opened up and having them replaced?
help / advice appreciated?
