stereoflaver 0 Posted May 28, 2011 My Corrado crunches when coming to a stop and selecting 1st gear when not at a total standstill, also when goin from reverse to first whiles still going backwards. Is this the synco going and has anyone else had it happen ? Would changing the gearbox oil help ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

krnau 0 Posted May 31, 2011 same here! I have to select "a bit" of 2nd, then straight into 1st. This way it does not crunch at all ;) I'm so used to do this, that I even do it when driving any other car!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CazzaVR 0 Posted May 31, 2011 May just need a little adjustment. Check this thread: http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?32297-gear-linkage-adjustment Well worth changing the oil for Redline MT90 or Castrol SMX-S (available in Halfords). Oil is easy to change. Also worth checking the gearbox mount and swapping it for the MK2 Golf Deisel mount. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
