DC5S gearbox woes

[bungie77]

i have the same problem with my dc5s, but it's definitely only in third gear at the moment and limited to revs ~5k+. I wasn't sure whether I should point it out at the next service. Usually it is when the car is cold though and it just takes a bit of "jiggling" of the gear stick. It can be really annoying though when trying to shift quickly and also when people who haven't driven the car before jump in. My car is due for a service pretty much now though so I might point it out knowing that other people have the same problem

Why are you up around that rpm when the car is cold?

Also, what ids the recommende oil?
Use it, if it requires a GL-4, and you put in GL-5, or vice versa...theres a very good chance youll damage it!

Sometimes the additives in the oils can damage yellow metals, if the syncros are brass or anything else is brass it may pit the brass and start to degrade it,eventually leading to failure.
