It's the synchro's in the box. You may get away with just changing the oil, just make sure it's the right grade |

First thing to look at is clutch play. A simple tightening of the clutch cable is all it could need. Is there play in the clutch peddle before pressure sets in or is there pressure as soon as you touch it? |

Change the oil to castrol vmx80... Did wonders for my gearbox dramas.. Had very similar problems that you are having ... changed the oil to the castrol stuff and was like driving a completely different car. |

The hardest part is getting the oil in if you don't have the right tools. You'll need a pump of some sort |

Scrawn is on the money, buy one of these & you'll have it for life if looked after. about $30 from most auto shops.

I inherited one but I've never used it. Do they pump the heavier oils ok? |

I had issues with gear changes, it would not shift between gears very smoothly, but i now have VMX80 oil in the gear box (cus stekky told me to) and it's so much smoother now. |

where having that problem in ours, only when having to change in a hurry from second to first, if your just casually slowing down its not to bad, think its due for an oil change any way. |

It's not ment to be used as a penis pump, are you sure they were the STM Tom Thumb Pumps not some cheap knockoff? |

pretty sure stekky is right. did mine not so long ago and used a bottle that we had on the shelf at work and it was around half full (5 litres) and took pretty much the whole lot. |
