Hullo Everyone, I have a 1994 80 series that has been "difficult " to change down from 3rd to 2nd for a while . Last week I had the gearbox, transfer case and clutch reconditioned. So excited when I picked the car up, only to be let down hard, 3rd to 2nd was pretty much exactly the same. Took it back, mechanic contacted the reconditioner, they told us to put in a lighter oil, so we did. It is better, but only because it was so bad before. My question is, can the 80 series box be smooth? aftermarket synchro? machining teeth? anything? All the other gears are fine. I'm aware this is a common prob for the good ol '80 series. I thought by now someone would have found a fix. Thanks
