SithOllie Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 First potentially dumb question (of probably many) Driving my Z and finding sixth is occasionally an utter T**T, been told by another owner that this is fairly normal, however i've driven sd1's where finding the gear was easier... Is it just me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevoD Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 5th and 6th do tend to cause issues in some cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookie Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Does it feel like there's a notch in between 5th and 6th? I had this issue when I first bought my Zed and re-aligning the gearshift plate sorted it for me. This bit: There's a post somewhere on how to do it. Maybe worth a try as its easy to do if you have a socket set. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebized Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Get the 'gate' checked first as if not correctly placed that can cause issues. But 6th gear synchro failure has been reported by several members in the past. Edit ^^^ like minds 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SithOllie Posted October 10, 2015 Author Share Posted October 10, 2015 Cars been parked up for a few months, got it running today and played around a bit, 'gate' looks correct, and if i match the revs 6 slots in perfectly, so i'm guessing syncros failure. new box time?

Juggalo Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Refurb costs as much as a second hand 'unknown' box. 600ish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
