Chid 6,791 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 I say your clutch ain't clearing right it's dragging slightly... Wouldn't say it's anything to do with syncro,s your only feeling it changing down as that's when your clutch as to work hard especially going down to first and second , take it back to the garage and get them to put it right..

Chid 6,791 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Could even be air in the hydraulic system Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Baghdadnights 150 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Could even be air in the hydraulic system If it was clutch or hydraulics at fault box would crunch selecting reverse as this doesn't have syncros hence the question def is syncros likes been said first and second hubs damaged Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hence why it doesn't crunch going up the gears only coming down the box ... Like I say take it back to the garage and see what they say ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Baghdadnights 150 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 If the clutch isn't clearing it will crunch in reverse because it hasnt got syncro meshes on that gear because you only select it stationary try rolling backwards in your car then select reverse it either wont go in or will crunch reason it crunches going down the box is the syncros are not slowing the first motion shaft down quick enough to align the gears hence the crunch as they mesh together Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chid 6,791 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Reverse is harder to get in because there straight cut gears not bevelled... Torchy try double clutching quickly when changing down see if it goes in easier i'd put my money on it being clutch or slave cylinder related Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Baghdadnights 150 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 No they don't have a bloody syncro on reverse next you'll be telling us its the overhead cam sprocket that's detached from the kronkle bolt I've been a mechanic for thirty years rebuilt more gearboxes than I can remember think I might know what I'm talking about And yes I did start on the spanners when I was 11 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Torchy try double clutching quickly when changing down see if it goes in easier i'd put my money on it being clutch or slave cylinder related when i went to the garage last week and told them about it he said the clutch might need bedding in which tbh i thought they were just spilling me shit, i,m going to take it back monday and get them to drive it and see what they say .If its there fault obviously i want it sorted cost me the best part of £600 . If its my fault i,ll have to live with it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I to have rebuilt countless engines and gearbox and I also started on the spanners at a young age (about the same age as you) not been at it as long as you but I'd still put money on your theory being wrong Sure when torchy gets it sorted he can tell us who was right if one of us is right that is Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RossM 8,149 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 If the clutch was constantly engaged it would start slipping in a short period of time, and if there was air in the hydraulics the pedal would be shite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
