Is the shift from 1st to second usually harsh. I just bought this car and was wondering if I should be worried?

1st and 2nd is stiff and slow when cold but quickly becomes more fluid when warm.Also when lifting the clutch in 1st and 2nd whilst changing gears can be slightly jolty when cold and again is more fluid and unoticeable when warm.... ________________________________________ ''Oh, it does handle like a golf!''

Make sure you are using the right gearbox oil. It could also be the lower engine mount wearing out making the change harder to make smoothly. ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

my 2nd crunched horribly. i never did a high rev shift. Just yesterday I changed the oil and whilst the change is notchy, it's a lot smoother. My clutch is really smooth now as well________________________________________ Red Rallye - Rolling "restoration"Wishbone Polybushes available |

I was a little worried about this when I first picked up my car but after a lot of early morning starts and 30mins+ journeys I soon realised that the moment the oil gets moving and warm it becomes slicker and easier to change gear - part of the 306's charm I guess!  Unless it is very grinding then I am sure it is nothing to worry about!

I know the syncro's are probably goosed and I'm on a hunt for a decent 2nd hand box.I think you'll be hard pushed to find a 6 that hasn't been ragged ________________________________________ Red Rallye - Rolling "restoration"Wishbone Polybushes available |
