MK3 2ZZ/C60 conversion issues selecting gears when hot
Posted: 23/04/19 21:30
Having real problems up shifting into 5th and down shifting into 4th with extended spirited driving.
Gears are fine when the car is cold and warming up, but after 5-10 minutes 4th and 5th get stiffer and stiffer until they really struggle to engage. Its seems the across motion is the issue. No issues moving into gears by hand in the engine bay so dont think it's the box itself.
Linkage had bearing bushes fitted, I then changed to solid brass bushes but still the same issue.
I presuming the linkages and or cables are expanding causing the issue?
Any help welcome as I have a track day approaching and need to get this sorted beforehand.
Thanks in advance.
