[Mk2] [Turbo] Rev 3 gearbox issue

Post by b4nk51e »

Thought i'd throw this one out there & see if anyone can advise me, I had a gear selector problem on my rev 2 gearbox (crunch into 4th) & decided to change it I found a cheap rev3 lsd gearbox (£150) locally so thought I'd risk it for that price. Anyway fitted it & found an unusual problem it changes up through the gears fine with no knocks or or moans but it sticks in gear changing down out of 5th & 4th! I find that if I let go of the gear stick & try a second time it'll drop out fine. There are times it works completely fine & goes up & down the gearbox without fault so has me a little baffled

Cheers

What oil do you have and where is the bite point of the clutch?

I'm using MT-90 & biting point is halfway up the pedal!
