I know this is a regular topic but I've not been able to find reference to the problem I'm experiencing. Poor gear change to 3rd and 4th is common but in my case the problem appears to be temperature related.
I made adjustments as this video
The selector lever appeared loose in the gearbox and had to jiggled around quite a bit to get the locking pin engaged correctly. I also cleaned of all traces of shredded gator and greased everything.
The result is supper smooth changes in all gears on a cold start. As the gearbox warms up 2 to 3 and 3 to 4 become increasingly problematic. Other gears are fine.
2 to 3 starts to feel like 3rd gear is somehow blocked and the leaver has to be moved to the left and forward to engage gear once the resistance has been felt.
3 to 4 appears to work but the throw feels short. I have to take it back out of 4th and pull the lever fully home. Failure to do this results in the box jumping out of gear when the clutch is lifted.
Any suggestions? The only thing I have come up with is to carry a 5mm drill and set the cables when the box is hot and see if the issue shifts to when the box is cold?
