Thought it might be useful to compile a list of gearbox symptoms and their causes.
For the purposes of this, assume that the gearbox cables/linkages are in perfect condition, and the fault is inside the gearbox.
I'm sure this is not totally correct and is incomplete, so feel free to amend/append this list.
Crunching going down to a gear - Synchromesh partially worn for that gear.
Crunching going up to a gear - Synchromesh badly worn for that gear.
Blocking going into gear - ?Synchromesh again?
Popping out of gear - ?
Gear not fully engaging - Bent fork?
Whining in certain gear - Bearing for that gear is worn.
Whining continuously - Final drive bearing worn?
Can't find gear - Selector spring broken. |
