#1: GTi gearbox issues... Author: LeeThr, Location: North West WalesPosted: Mon Mar 05, 2012 4:55 pm ---- My GTi gearbox seems to be having it's time of the month. At low speeds/revs it goes into gear ok, not quite as smooth as it should be but goes in. At higher speeds it either refuses to go in or takes a bit of force sometimes followed by some crunching noises.
I will be checking/changing the oil tommorow, however something tells me it wont be quite that simple. There arent any other strange sounds coming from the box.
Anybody else got any other thoughts what it could be?

Why would the gearbox mount have anything to do with it? And what rod?

try to drive a 206 with broken gearbox mount then you will know.
higher rev=more vibration=worse.
linkage rod

#7: Re: GTi gearbox issues... Author: LeeThr, Location: North West WalesPosted: Mon Mar 05, 2012 5:43 pm ---- Havent tried doing that. Once its over around 3.5/4k revs it struggles. 2nd gear particularly. When you go really high up the rev range, you put the clutch in and try to engage the next gear and it wont go in untill the revs have come down a bit.

it won't go in go you mean it won't even go into N or just won't go into next gear?

sadly it will be hard to tell unless you strip the box.....
#12: Re: GTi gearbox issues... Author: LeeThr, Location: North West WalesPosted: Mon Mar 05, 2012 6:27 pm ---- Oh dear :/ I will try an oil change first then if that doesnt help, looks like time to get rid of it.
#13: Re: GTi gearbox issues... Author: Seabook, Posted: Mon Mar 05, 2012 6:39 pm ---- synchro is cheap....

How cheap? How big a job is it to change?

#17: Re: GTi gearbox issues... Author: LeeThr, Location: North West WalesPosted: Tue Mar 06, 2012 8:12 am ---- Anybody ever changed the synchros on one of these boxes? Just looking on servicebox now the Syncro hub is £23 including vat.
