Unfortunately thats what I was thinking, that the synchro had gone but it just doesn't make any sense as it hasn't been driven hard whatsoever and the gearbox is fairly new.
I could understand if I was smashing the gears in trying to recreate Sebastien Loeb at Monte Carlo but its been driven really sedately.
Low rev gear changes are fine ... I'm talking 2000rpm ... but anything around 3 or 4 and you can just feel it grind a bit and hear a slight crunch as it engages.
