hard gear changes ?

Thu 05 Jun 2014 10:20:34 PM
Hey guys sometimes when I change gears its really stiff and hard but other time its smooth as anything why would this be ? Also my timing cover has a leak should I be worried ? I keep making new gaskets but the leak is always in the same spot.

Get the revs right and it slots in smoothly.

Your gearbox might have bad or the wrong oil, changing your gearbox oil (80w90) will fix this. Also look for any metal in the old oil as this is signs of a worn our grearbox.

Or

It could be your clutch isent allways disengaging, does the pedal feel or release point change?

And with the leaking timing cover if it isent leaking on your belts or having to top up the oil every week, thats fine. If it's leaking from the same spot there has to be an imperfection on the cover or housing. If you cant find it or fix it, try a decent liquid gasket.
