Congrats Murray, sounds like you got a beauty for the price, especially
the diff-lock and no rust.
I agree the problem you have with the gears sounds like a gear selector
issue, not gearbox.
Heh while you're passing me sometime up or down the F3, pop in to my
place will you, we can ogle Syncros ... hahaha
Cheers.

I didn't fix it I've noted the when in 1st its actually in 3dr. When in
2nd its engaging third. So you can go from 1st to 3rd and its the same
gear. Seems something just not pushing accross far enough.

any extraneous noises. Fortunately, the Syncro is low-geared, so you
will get away with what you are doing without straining anything.

T2s) so i've got a good mechanic (but in Newcastle where I'm originally
from). I intend giving him a look at it Tuesday. However, we are also
heading up the coast (to Noosa) that day so i'm hoping that its
something he can fix quickly - fingers crossed. It made it from Swan
Hill like it so i don't think I'm doing more damage. i think you might
well be on the right track with your diognosis though.
