Does anyone know a good mechanic that can have a look at the gearbox in a 1995 Manual GPX?

Having a problem where the bottom row of gears wont go in correctly.

Hm. i don't quite know....
But all i know is that soon mine will be needing the same thing. lol.

Hey question, have you tried changing your gearbox oil, because most of the time, if the problem isn't major normally changing to a really good gearboxoil helps the problem...

like with mine, i had a little bit of a similar problem... and new oil helped...

the two that i would reccomend would be

Castrol Syntrax, and Redline... both are pretty expensive about at 70+ a gearbox....

I would imagine, because it's a manual, it should be hard to find a good gearbox place, just don't go to the one near discount tyre center in belconnen...

I would also maybe ring Jake's performance and ask him, about what he thinks....

don't take it EVO motorsport, Fast & furious.... maybe... but that's a personal choice i guess.. both would probably know, and could point you to the right direction,

Also some of the syndicate guys (http://www.syndicatemotorsports.org) might also know if you post on their forum...

let us know where you take it, cos yeah i wouldn't mind getting mine done sometime later on...
