This is a 1990 110 CSW 2.5TD with LT77 gearbox, recent master and slave clutch cylinders.
Recently I have found problems getting the gearbox to go into third. This is not a "graunching" issue, there just doesn't seem to be the gate there. You can push it that direction, but there is just nowhere for it to go.
Sometimes it slips in as sweet as a nut, others I have to go to 4th, then back to third. In extreme I go back to second to accelerate as I have lost so much road speed trying to find 3rd. Road speed or engine speed seem to make little difference. 2nd to 3rd is the issue. 4th to
3rd is usually OK.
Even more recently 1st is becoming more elusive (when stopped!)
I have checked the oil, the clutch has a very high bite point (so I reckon it is fully releasing) and the clutch master and slave cylinders are very recent and have been bled.
I understand that 1st and 3rd are on different shafts, so there is nothing common there.
What have I missed? Any thoughts?
(Apart from a new box!)
Cheers
Peter
