what does the gearbox say ?

Post by valenzo » Mon Feb 17, 2014 9:38 pm

*krunk* at every shift if i don't double-clutch !

it already happened a couple weeks ago, i changed the hose's oil, it was good for two weeks and now for a couple days it won't stop cracking at every shift (except 1 -> 2 and when i double clutch). i changed the oil again tonight, no improvement.

what would be your first idea ? is there any tuning to do on the pressure plate, as for a cable-command clutch ?

manual boxes sometimes suffer with crunches the lsd boxes have a weak 5th gear synchro

M2v5

Btw, 1st and R gear go pretty well. I spotted a weird behaviour from the clutch, you can feel it under the foot at around 1cm above the floor before it engages really at around mid-way from the floor to the normal position... Dunno if im clear here but thats what my left foot tells me !

Checked the level of the clutch fluid? any leaks around the slave/master cylinder?

and back to horrible as f*k this morning, and all smooth this evening.
I pressed the clutch pedal for 1mn, engine running, and then put 1st gear ; if there was a leak in the clutch hose, the gear wouldve been rough to engage, this time there was no problem...
no person i asked to could have any idea, even professional mechanics !
