Gearbox Trouble - Gen
Got an annoying problem with a P reg Lada Samara 44000miles. Every forward gear has no problem but perhaps half the times put into reverse crunches. Has done this for a few months and the clutch appears to be fine as is okay in forward gears. What kind of problem is it? Could a gearbox oil change sort it out?
Thanks for help.

Probably due to no synchromesh on reverse gear, and very slight clutch drag. The reverse gear pinion may have slightly sticky oil in its bearing so fresh oil might just make the problem go away, certainly worth trying.
