Hi,
About the manual gearbox of my Rover P4:
First gear is not synchornized. Selecting first from neutral is -somtimes- difficult (you must 'seek and find the entrance') and sometimes very smooth.. How can this be?
Selecting reverse from neutral (without the car moving) is sometimes scratchy and sometimes very smooth again! Actually: I'm standing with the car, full depressed clutch pedal, moving from neutral to reverse: scratching (the sound of gearwheels touching), I go back to neutral and try again: no difference. When I go to neutral, let the clutch come up, depress again and try again to select reverse, everything is smooth as butter....!
First I was thinking the clutch was not coming fully free from the flywheel, but in that case it schould happen every time... Changing gears on the run is troublefree (just the problem described in the beginning of this mail.
What's going on here???
TX, rob
