5th Gear Crunch…

  1. My model of MX-5 is: NC1
  2. I’m based near: Guildford
  3. I’m looking for technical help or recommendations on: Potential synchro issue?

Hi everyone, I couldn’t find a post on this elsewhere on the forum so please redirect me if I’ve missed one.

My nc has started crunching slightly when shifting into 5th gear at higher revs (under harder acceleration or when jumping from 2/3 to 5), I’m just looking for anyone who’s had a similar issue and found the solution? If anyone’s got an estimate at the work or costs required for this fix that would be great. I saw someone had something similar with a mk2.5, not sure if the five speed is the same between these generations or has any particular quirks or known issues?

Cheers

I have a similar thing, which I have been ignoring until I do an oil change in August, so keen to learn.
