Hello guys,
My 1st and 2nd gears struggle to go in. Has anyone replace the syncro's before which could give me any advice.
What do i need to buy to replace it because carry no knowledge of gearboxes.

Hahaha.. the oil might be 20 years old. Its never been opened cause the car only done 73 000km's now. I will be checking it tomorrow night. While I'm getting replies here. When is it time to change the timing belt?
