I think its a combination of low oil and the pushrod on the master needing adjusted but my gears seem to be a little crunchy. For example this morning I set off, went into 1st, reverse, and 2nd no problem. But 3rd always seems to crucnh in the morning now.
I always try and match the gear speeds so the syncros are not really needed but, for the odd lazy gear change like when someone decides to ruin your forward planning its nice to know its there.
I'll check the oil level, top up if need be, and I will have a look at the push rod.
Speaking of which, whats the best way to set the clutch pedal assy up. I changed it last year, and just bolted it up so at rest the pedal is ready to engage on the rod. But I find that over time it moves back a little, so I end up with play on the clutch pedal before it even starts to push the rod, thus loosing travel at the other end. Might be worth loctiteing it.
Anyway, I think I will look at those tonight, but if anyone has any thoughts, they would be much apprecaited.
NB. The gearbox is fairly new, maybe 20,000miles on it, so its not just the case of another clapped out gearbox.
