Gearbox worries??

[jamesclarkson]

I have a 1998 mk2 1.6 Eunos imported last April and owned by me since then. Over that period selection of second gear in particular has become very notchy. This appears worse when the car is cold. Once warm there can be occasions when there is no problem engaging 2nd gear. I had the service 6 months ago and when i got the car back the problem seemed to be sorted which makes me this there is some adjustment to be made somewhere? The garage i had it serviced have since fone out of business so cannot go back there.

I am none the wiser to what the problem is and am concerned that it could be a gearbox problem which i want to get sorted. Any help or feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Its done about 85000miles. I will have to give the oil a check is it just a case of filling it up with oil until it runs out of the plug on the side? I havent looked at my car so just guessing really!

Cheers guys very helpful will give it a go and see how it goes. I am going to put the car up for sale in a few weeks and want it to be perfect for the next owner.

That sounds exactly the same symptoms as mine so thats the first step for me then i think will give those a go. Is there a workshop manual available for the mk2 car or is it a case of most of the mk1 stuff is the same/similar? I looked for a Haynes manual and there didnt seem to be one available? In an earlier reply there was talk of a manual which one is it please?

Cheers for all your help guys, much appreciated!

Any idea which gear oil and diff oil grade it would be?

I'm sorry to be a pain again but im going out to pick up the gearbox oil tomoro if possible with the intention of changing it in the afternoon. With regards the turret oil, how is that accessed, via the cockpit or elsewhere? How much gear/diff oil is required i have searched online but struggled to find any figures? Cheers guys
