2nd gear syncro

[GoLfMan]

Damn man, whats with the attitude.

becuase your giving him useless answers that dont address the question in the first place

Stu, just get it rebuilt, but as Jmac says try new oil in it first.

worse comes to worst, wacka 4 speeder in there, they arent that bad unless you do heaps of highway kms.

[tommymac]

Haha ladies ladies,

just find a wrecked mk3 and get a new box if its that bad, mine loves the crunch, Redline is always a fantastic option for 70 buks its beats 1000 bucks, really it comes down to,

1) can u be arsed rebuilding an 020?
2) mmmm no? lets try and source a 02a, O2j (is that mk 4? or is that o2m?) mm confused my self
3)Quaife, not really an option for anyone at 2000 squid
4) use the gear box for marine purposes

[thestu]

i shall start by trying the oil and if its still bad i shall re-build her or just change the ratios in a 4 speed

Have you driven it. You say its not in the car?
A bit of second gear crunch is common, they are 20 year old boxes and driven enthusiastically.
If you pull it apart, you will need other parts and its not a very easy job.
I dont think that box came from me mate.
Cheers

the 4 speeder will be good to more than 160+

[Golf Loon]

AAAh its that motor and box you have. That car sat around for a long time man. Defo try some decent gearbox oil. Its not woth pulling an 020 down unless you are gonna rebuild it properly.
