2nd gear synchro??

[Craig1984]

Having a bit of jip with the Monaro. Bit of hist first, 56plate Mon VXR with just over 12k on the clock, and ripshifter. I having bit of trouble with 2nd gear. Shifting up the box is fine, but coming down can be a complete mother. I either have to plant my clutch foot in the carpet and then some, or have to double up, or allow selective time to be able to hit second. When driving 8 of 10times you'd say synchro and then the other clutch (but without 1st and reverse trouble). Im actually favouring both. Ive spoken to the nice blokes at Monkfish and replaced the gearbox oil, improved slightly but nothing to shout about. Took it to Picador as its under warranty and im not splashing my own time and money on it when the gits up there can pay for it. But have fobbed me off with the shifter and its meant to be like that. They drove the car 1/2 mile for a test run. Now i gave them a telling off, is what im talking of a known fault, because i know its not right and im want to go in with a bit more metal next time

What colour is your clutch fluid? not that it is that causing the problem, just want to know what it's like.

Its semi clear, got the known grease/gunk build up which i have to sort very soon.

Have you tried rev matching and clutchless changing, it may be the clutch.

My clutch is definitely better now I have changed it half a dozen times.

I would say propelly change the clutch fluid as it will make a difference, by how much i cant say but should help and will be alot cheaper than a new clutch. Mines tricky at times but im 99% sure its the clutch dying.
