difficult 2nd gear

that's interesting, hope it's nothing serious with the GB though. Hate to think how much new synchros are :zip:

Haha, I'm certain it isn't syncros. If anything just clutch.

To be certain I did some shifts into 2nd without clutch and there was no grind or anything. Went in as smooth as if the clutch was in. But the problem also happens going from redline into 3rd and 4th. And how you could wear out your 4th gear syncros would confuse the hell outta me :p

well if its clutch, then np

good excuse for aftermarket + lightweight fly

i might try MTF as next step. Changing to a sports clutch and flywheel will that dramatically change the feel of shifting up/down gears? and definitely fix the 'brick wall' issue from 1st to 2nd gears?

Swapping the clutch will only help if it is your clutch that's the problem.

A lighter flywheel should effectively make the car go into gear easier as the gearbox will lose its momentum more easily, thus matching engine/gear speed with less resistance.

Change your MTF.i'm sure it'll solve a lot of your shifting problems.I did mine at 40K and it dramatically improved the shift through the gears.

Yeh change MTF but i still find it jams up once in a while mainly because you need to rev match.
Don't think it's your clutch unless you keep dumping your clutch @ every light, but that would mean it's slipping and not the shift problem.

get it bak to the dealer bro :D

What fluid are you people using?

There is one fluid that I swear by, i'd even give up my left testi if you can find one better hehe, (and don't say Redline Shock Proof - It's rubbish).

Try using NEO gearbox oil, the race spec.. comes in a tin can, awesome stuff, I had straight cut's in my B4 box, and this oil went perfectly..so for a base spec box, it should compliment it even more..

I'm thinking of doing mine soon, as i'm nearing the 80k mark

I am using motul's gb oil.
works quite well when warmed up a little.

How much for Neo?

Your throttle is stuck open when you shift.

Not really. The input shaft which slows down when you upshift is located in the gearbox, while the flywheel is on the engine side. So your engine revs will drop quicker but your input shaft will slow down the same as it is now, so the resistance will be the same.
