G'day all,
New member here but have already read some great advice from this forum through normal Google searches.
One of those topics related to the manual gearbox popping out of 3rd on its own accord. Gearbox has been replaced twice (local dealer bypassed the detent fix kit step) even though it is out of warranty.
That issue has been fixed, but now I have a couple other issues appearing. The dealer is not convincwd there is a problem, but I surely can't be over reacting?
1. Shifting up to 2nd or 3rd sometimes results in a grinding-like feel through the shifter. There is definitely no accomoanying noise and it usually slots in but it feels resistant, like the shifter is colliding with a moving part. Doesn't occur all the time and can happen at all manner of shift speeds, road speeds etc.
2. Starting today, there seems to be a lot of excessive noises from the underside as the shifter goes into gear. Could hear it driving around but also very prominent when idling and when it was switched off.
Next step is to get a trans specialist to look into it, but if anyone has any advice or ideas I'd appreciate it very much.
Cheers, Gamblr
