HELP !!! Clunk At 4th Gear !!!
Hey guys
I have jus bought my 01 Bug Eye rexy about 2 weeks ago. I have noticed that if I change from 3rd to 4th at about 60~65Ks, it shifts fine. But if I shift up to 4th at about 70k~ 80kss, the gears just clunks, like gears grinding. Is this normal cos I change up at such a high speed or is it time for me 2 change my trannie oil? Cheers Guys |
Sounds like the sychro maybe worn....
Try changing the gearbox oil redline shockroof that should/may quieten it down.... |
I am very new to this scene, what is a sychro? Can it be fixed?
My service is due next month, will probably change it then. |
Synchromesh is the type of gear selecting used by the gearbox as opposed to a dog engagement setup. It can be replaced, not so much as 'fixed'.

Yea haha replace, thats what I mean. Yea I am gonna try changing the oil first.
Is it worth it to replace the synchro or shud I jus start savin up for a new box? How much would it be to be replaced and how much would a new box cost? Thanks guys |
Id be fairly hesitant to change the oil if its bad. Redline is worth about $200-300 for a refill of it not including labour. if its still rooted, you have wasted about $300. Doesnt seem very resourceful

How hard are you shifting when it clunks?......Ripping it in or slow shifting?
Tecnique issue? |
Jus slow shifting!!! I thought it was me not puttin the clutch in completely but even wif me puttin in all in, it still clunks at 70ish ks
|
what type of clutch is it?
it might just be the clutch clamping down |
