I have a problem with my manual box on my Zee - when trying to select 3rd gear, without using the clutch, it grinds? I have tried using mobil 1 synthetic gear box oil, but the problem still occurs. Does anyone else have this problem?

have you tried putting the gear-knob up your anus?

 

this can help clean out a dirty box.

 

HTH.

 

 

i don't think that would really help the situation. my nissan dealer he thought it was of a selector problem than the actual gear knob, I am obliged to think that it is the leather gearstick gaitor, restricting the movement of the stick. Thanks for the suggestion though Senna.

If I had a pound for everytime I've heard "my manual grinds and crunches going into third!" I'd have about 87 pounds and 23 pence!!! Get shot mate and get an auto.

hmmm sounds like a solution - but theres nothing like the chucking the box into a lower cog mid bend in the wet and getting the back end snaky snaky - an auto would defeat the object!

What you on about? You can do plenty of Torvill & Deane manoeuvers in an auto...I have mastered the art of snaking and spinning and ending up in a hedgerow!!!
