|
|
My gearbox had a complete overhall 3 weeks ago and the shifts are now very smooth.
Very occasionally though, when I go to stick it in reverse it will grind. Is this just a Vitara thing, or have they bodged something that I will need to get done?
Cheers

Welcome to the forum Benner
As for your gearbox, doesnt sound right for something that has just been refurbed. I would pop it back and get them to have a quick drive just to make sure everything is OK |

Been out in it loads today and it didn't do it at all.
Not too concerned as the gearbox refurb came with a 12 month warranty, so if it does develop any problems it can go straight back. |

It may have been that your engine revs were a bit too high, reverse gear isn't synchromeshed as far as i know so higher than tickover revs would result in crunching. _________________ Suzuki now gone, replaced by Pajero's |

Just for info really, this is a very common thing. Like redneck said the reverse gear isn't syncromeshed and it's a case of timing it correctly with the correct amount of revs.
Now I have the art of this all is fine. So no probs, phew! |

Yeah I think I used to have my revs up a little high as well.
You soon get the hang of smoothly popping it in though. |
