LT77 gearbox 5th gear crunching
Discussion
So, A problem with 5th gear. Always been there since I've had the car but might be getting worse. 5th gear crunches BADLY. Sometimes cannot engage.
If I'm very quick it goes in with a little crunch. If very , very slow, it mostly goes in.
However changing gear normally is crunched very badly - I'e' like not disengaging the clutch at all.
The odd factor is that it slots in beautifully ant the crunches when I let the clutch out. No crashing at all with the clutch depressed, only when the clutch is lifted, so I'm not sure it's synchro rings.
It seems to shift 'OK' mostly below 40 mph, and above that if I shift into 5th but move the lever to the left so I'm almost selecting 3rd after I go through the gate, then I can get it to shift cleanly every time.
Almost like it's selecting 3rd and 5th at the same time.
Ideas?
