Hello!
Wondering if you lot could advise me on my gearbox. My 200 is about 5 weeks old, and has done 1,100 miles. The gearbox is making me a little concerned, especially having read a number of posts about the synchro problems.
I'm not having any trouble getting it into 1st (hot or cold), but under high load and rpm, the change from 3rd to 4th is tough, and I often need to double declutch. Also, if block changing down from 6th to 4th, it will crunch. I know it's new, but it hasn't improved as the mileage has increased. Is it worth me getting this checked out before any longer?
On a other note, and not for this thread: I know the 200s are meant to be cr*p from cold, but damn, I'm getting dumped in junctions, kangarooing down the road, and misfiring through villages!
