[QUOTE="Trikky2, post: 365605, member: 240"] Well I have to admit I am surprised you have a gearbox left. When you say the gears are difficult do you mean they are hard to get it to go into gear but ok when stationary engine off? If this is the case then your answer lays in the oil - the recommendation was changed to ep80 after the haynes manual was published. Ep90 causes the synchro rings to baulk when the oil is cold. Change it for some ep80 or if you cant get ep80 then you can used the ep80/90 that is widely available. [/QUOTE]
