I sometimes have difficulty downshifting from 3rd to 2nd.
It seems difficult to get into 2nd�in this direction�and I�get a gear grinding sound .
This seems to be worse when you really need it (ie going up a steep hill)
and when the engine/transmission is hot.
It does not seem to matter on how fast I try to shift, pausing at neutral
does not help much. Other shifting seems OK (perhaps a little stiff getting
into 1st when the engine is cold)
The transmission was locally rebuilt about 15k miles ago (18 months), so is
outside any warrantee...[not sure what kind of rebuild was done].
Any ideas on what the problem is and what to do about it?
Thanks,
Mike,
'87 Westy (2.1 stock engine; 4 speed)
