futurezedowner Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 My gearbox is making a very unpleasant grinding sound whenever I change into 6th at any speed above about 55mph. I'm pretty sure the synchromesh is going/gone but the next step is not really clear to me. I see three options: 1. Change the gearbox oil in the hopes that I can buy myself some more time 2. Pay for an expensive repair on the gearbox 3. Find a second hand gearbox from somewhere and get that fitted Has anyone else had a similar problem, if so, what gearbox fluid should I buy? And if that's not going to work how much do you think the repair options are going to cost? I live in Kent and my zed has 38k miles. Any help very much appreciated!

Willsy1980 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I'd start with a fluid change and some molyslip. Seems to be a decent option to try before a new box. @Ewen@Clark Motorsport is just one of the traders on here who will be able to supply everything you need fluid wise. @ZMANALEX will probably be able to help secondhand box wise 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Gearbox internals are in stock. Fully tested and fully working low mileage pre-owned gearboxes are also in stock. Just drop me a PM if I can help further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
