Gearbox Issues? Plaese Help!!

[declfc]

Ok I have been searching for ages and cant find a definate answer. My 03 LCR has started to crunch a bit when changing from 2nd to 3rd gear.

I have found from forum searches that a change of gear box oil often solves this problem. A couple of Questions that i cant find answers for.

1. What is the best oil to use, I read that Pennzoil Synchromesh is best but cant find it anywhere in england?

2. How do i change the gear box oil????.

I also read some here anout adjusting the linkages? Dont really know what this means, or how to do it.

Please Please any information you can give me would be a great heplp as im starting to worry now that i might need a new gear box and its not under warrenty, thats gonna cost a lot!!!!

id pay a garage to do it , it cost me twenty quid on my old s3 , and it solved the problem , it started crunching when i had it mapped , at high revs when you went to change gear

My only guess would be the clutch, dont take my word for it, but I found the clutch has to be all the way to the floor to work on mine, which it doesnt in any other gear change, and didnt in any of my other cars, it is just between 2 and 3. If I make sure its well planted then it works fine, I dont know if this a common issue or if its just me, but it may help.

Hope you get sorted mate. broken cars a rubbish!
