Changing from 5th to 6th - crunch!


IDH

Recommended Posts

Hi

I have developed a crunch!

If I accelerate hard, changing 5th to 6th, I am getting a gear crunch.

If I just drive "sensibly" its fine.

Anyone heard of anything similar and what may be the solution?

Cheers

Yep, sadly all to common. I just change from 5-6 slower than usual, wait for the RPM to drop a little. After all, if your hooning it in 5th and heading for 6th you're already doing somewhere 100+

Thanks guys. I will work on the "all too common" rather than new gearbox!

100+?

Me?

Never! :)

Planning on selling her on and was worried about it.

Same on mine, just need to wait a split second longer before changing.

Not really a problem at lower speeds.

After two years of ownership it hasn't got any worse, that I've noticed or caused any issues.

Also added some Molyslip on last service a month ago, has helped a little.

Mine did it, Mines a 2006. Turned out to be the synchromesh, result was a rebuild. Grand total 2K from a stealer.... Was meant to be a warrenty job, but they revoked it after the work was done :(

 

And you settled for that?!? I would've taken the car back from them and told them to go through the court if they wanted me to pay as they agreed prior to the work that it would be on warranty!
