sometimes doesnt select 4th gear

[crossedmike]

well i was driving along after sorting out my clutch cable and went to put it in to 4th and all i heard was a horrible grinding noise and it poped out the gear stick goes into position but it sounds like the gears are nto sysning or connecting but if i double clutch it and try putting it in it works occasionally does this sound like the syncro mesh in the gearbox please help


also still no indicators lol

Its not the gear box, its the selector cables from the gear stick to the linkage. They stretch over time and eventually snap.

My cordy SX did the same thing.

What states the linkage in at the gear box end? A weight and a bracket also went on mine at the smae time.

Failing this maybe the box really is dead

if you look at the throw weight, remove that and where the cable bolts to the arm there's play in there once you loose the second bolt that allows for fine adjustment. Even try to change the oil see if that helps.
