After 16 years, five homes, one wife and two kids my BJ7 is finally finished
and on the road. Now come the "sorting out" of all the little problems. So I
am after some gearbox advice. The shift between reverse/ first/ second is
vague to say the least and down changes from 3rd to 2nd impossible despite
double clutching and even up changes 1st to 2nd must be taken slowly. First
gear is very noisey but the rest of the gears operate fine. Obviously I am
up for a gearbox rebuild but would like your ideas on the potential
problems. Could it just be mostly the selector wear or do you think I have
layshaft problems?

Cheers

Pieter
