Gear Crunching

[Heath24]

When changing gear from 2nd to 3rd, the gears crunch, only happens when changing up, not down, and in no other gear selection, if you take it nice and slow, doesn't happen, but when you want to drive enthusiastically this is a tad painful.

Could this be low gearbox oil/wrong grade?? or something more expensive??

I suppose its time to get the Bible!!

Snatching the gears can cause the same problem on a T5 Gearbox. To change quickly you need to be very precise otherwise it can baulk. Make sure you are depressing the clutch pedal fully (common mistake).

Thanks, I have made sure that the clutch is fully depressed, had the car for about 6 months before it started happening, hoping its an easy to rectify problem.
