Hello, as some of you ar awear i recently had my Gearbox go crunch/bang/& just made terrable noises.
After ringing around & talking to a few people about the best place to go,
i ended up going to a KNOW COMPANY (name i wont say, at this moment)
They had the car over nite,
FITTING
= Recon Gearbox (with warrantee)
= New Clucth
= New Flywheel
Costing me just under 1 months wages....
Car (gearbox) seemed fine on the way home as was driving with caution.
After a few day i noticed that from 1st to 2nd gear it crunched. spoke to a mate & he said ring the company...
So i did & this is the conversation i had.
Me = hello mate got problem with my gears
Him = Hello whats the problem
Me = it crunches from 1st to 2nd gear
Him = Arh yes thats a common fault with classic gearboxes,
Me = It wasnt doing it in my old box & that was broken
Him = try easing off the power before changing gear
Me = If i slow any more i wont get out of 1st gear
Him = Its probably that you have have Rubbish oil in your box, what you got in there,
Me = What ever you put in when you fitted it.
Him = try putting better synthetic oil in, as they will cure it.
Me = will it??
Him = i know you have a problem & we wont forget you.
That was the whole conversation we had.
Now what i want to know.
Should this be happening (crunching in to 2nd gear ONLY) never did it with my old box EVER (not even when on its way out)
Should i put better oil in OR should they have had done it?
& is it a common fault with classic gearboxes??
Should i take it back.
Please if you know where i went, DONT SAY on open thread....
