I need some help here people......

 

My 300 is very hard to find 2nd gear, and crunches when coming out from 3rd. No crunch going into any gear. Also, when in 4th only, the gear stick feels and sounds like it is being hit by something, a very random knocking noise, every now and then, but only in 4th.

 

I can only assume the clutch is foobarred, or would it be symtoms of a dry box (no oil) or worse case, a shagged box (hope not).

 

Any advise, as always most welcomed.

 

Cheerz,

Manual TT jap with Z1 premium shortshifter, standard (old) clutch and standard box, btw.

i have had this problem on a car before. i just got rid of the car . but before i did a mechanic mentioned syncro. could have been sizing me up for a pricey job or was telling the truth. just voicing what i'd be thinking mate as i have no clue what it could be. points towards gearbox though lol. hope you sort it anyway.

Hi Alan,it could be number of things.to test the clutch put it into 5th give the car a mild rev and let the clutch out if it stalls the clutch is prolly ok,you may have a hydraulic or box issue.It does sound like the clutch is dragging if im honest though mate.

Will give it a go tomoz and post back, cheers Jim.
