Hi Folks,
Having problems getting 2nd gear, it just crunches in. Strangely though it selects fine at stand still, it's only when moving.
1,3 & 4 all ok, although sometimes 1st can be a bugger selecting (very tight).
Also has fairley overdrive which works fine in all gears.
Do you reckon this could be a selector issue?

Thanks.

I take it that's a picture of 1st & 2nd gear.
So they work togther. So probably a selector issue, or wear?

That looks familiar, although its probably the springs gone on the synchro on 1st/2nd, not 3rd/4th as shown,

You could whip off the top cover and check the selector shaft is not loose on the fork

Mine has been doing this for the past 12000 miles, jumps out of 2nd now. Time for a rebuild I think!
