clunky?

Clunking in gear may be a sign of a bad synchro. I have been living with a clunky 2nd for ages. If your linkage is solid and your clutch is properly adjusted,, it might just be a bad synchro. You could replace the transmission gear oil, that helped a bit for me. I also tend to double clutch and shift into the affected gear a little slower while matching rpms, like I was shifting a truck.

IF it is a bad synchro, the "fix" involves removing and likely replacing the transmission. Removing the transmission is a BIG job and so I have decided to live with my bad synchro.
