2nd gear crunch
Hello everyone,
I'm looking at a 94 rx7 with 60,000 miles. The only problem is that when going into 2nd gear, it crunches and is difficult to get into. Does anyone know what could be the problem and a solution to the problem?
Thank you very much, all information is very appreciated.

Yeah that's what i thought but, i test drove it and it seemed to do it in 2nd, every other gear is fine. It's just a little difficult to get into. Does anyone know how much it would cost to rebuild the transmission and what's involved?
Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.

A basic bearings/synchros job from a place like KD Rotary will run almost $1000 plus labor to remove and replace it.
Unfortunately your 2nd may also need a new 2nd gear and/or clutch sleeve. That can add a couple hundred extra $$.
I find that the 1-2 shift goes smoother if I wag the shifter into center neutral before pulling it into 2nd. Dunno why, but it seems to synchronize perfectly.

very common issue. check if the car has a quickshifter fitted - as this can accentuate the problem (ask me how I know...). It should be fine once it had warmed up - if it isn't then you've got a bigger problem.
a good synthetic oil is your first port of call.

My point here is that the type and manufacturer of the lube can make BIG difference.
