my original gearbox was the same when I bought the car, I always had to tap 2nd gear on the downshift from 4th - 3rd...... was uber gay, try tapping 2nd is all I can suggest.
wells she back in business guys.im happy with the cage and clutch but this box is still shitting me.bearings were fine.syncros brand new,different selector casing.orginal gears.

I think you need to replace 3rd gear syncro again. Even if it was new, it sometimes only take a couple of very agressive downshifts in the right conditions for is to wear flat. You werre probably doing about 130km, then forced it to 3rd just before the corner, maybe hoping to get some shiftlock drift action. I have done the same myself. Inspect the syncro and gear and hub very well. Measure the clearance between the syncro and the gear with afeeler gauge. Refer to manual.
cheers jonny for the advice.the syncro came from a box that was given to me with blown 3rd gear.everything inside the box was new.could the blown gear have something to do with it??? im not a fan of shift locking either,way to much stress on shit
