Gearbox Sync Problem Options

[MattPH]

Hi all, I have a bit of a gearbox problem (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
(2ltr diesel 02)
the syncro has been a little dodgy for a while changing into 2nd gear, now it seems to have given up the ghost.
I can only get it into 2nd if I'm doing less than 5mph when changin up and almost never when changing down (I almost have to stop moving before it will engage)
Obviously I drive very carefully and reasonably with kids in the car so its not a fatal failure, just darn inconvenient!

Any suggestions on how to repair/where to get a new box appreciated (new box from hyundai is £1615+VAT!!!) as Ive been trawling the net and making numerous calls without luck.

thanks.

Matt

sorry to sound rather negative, but you have three choices, 1 remove the gearbox and get a specialst company to overhaul it (much cheaper that getting a new one) 2 just keep looking through breakers yards on the net (those gearboxes are rather thin on the ground) or 3 learn to double de clutch (last option is free)
