8v 2nd gear crunch

[DAVEMARX]

Thanx for the input lads but ive sorted it i bumped into an old geezer with a mark2 gti at my local scrappy he look a weighted gear link out of a mk3 and said here pop that in ya pocket.......easy to fit just take out 2 clips with some long nose pliers and out it pops works like a charm now.....

while i was there hed noticed my revs were a bit high when idaling which was true they were way to high 1500rpm to 2000rpm so he whiped a new idle control valve (i think thats what its called it sits just above the rocker cover) out of an audi 80 now it sits pretty just below 1000rpm...so thanks AL nice 1

Can anyone recommend a place to buy the Redline MTL?

I just haven't seen it anywhere locally and want to change mine.

Still have the crunch on my valver but definitely a smoother gear change now 

A new/recon gearbox will cost ya...

looks like i was  wrong still got the crunch but not so bad and it does change better and feels alot smoother as for the other bits i fitted there working i think but it feels like its lost some its power it doesnt feel so rapped now....i think i need a 16v or big bore i cant afford a 20v any suggestions...

VR6  cheaper than a 20VT conversion with loads of oopf still.

in 2nd and 3rd, I think it's time for a new gearbox mate

it makes a funny sorta winding noise when i change down too

Definately the synchromesh... a common fault in mk2 because we luv to thrash dem in 2nd gear!!! Pick up another gearbox from a scrappy but sometimes you don't know what you're gettin. Or get it rebuilt... i got mine done for £250... pulls so much better.
