Not really engine but no transmission forums to post in
Been giving the rallye some TLC as I want to get it back out on track in the next few months.
Anyhow, the last few drives out, if I hammer in in 1st and go to change to second, it wont do into second gear, with the gear lever in the neutral position, its still in 1st. After a few pumps of the clutch and wiggle of the gear nob I can get it out of 1st.
My initial thoughts were the linkages, so I swapped my linkages over for some new one at weekend. But driving to work today, its done the same again. Any ideas?

sounds like either gearbox...would first think clutch but if you can put it in neutral and its still in a gear then gota be the box
when was last time oil was changed? maybe worth a go
and ADMIN....put a freaking transmission section in for goodness sake!!!

It has regular oil changes.
Cannot understand how it could be the gear box tho?

its also intermittent which is normally not the case with fixed links or a clutch

Worn mounts can cause issues with linkages and lead to sticking in gears etc...

Have you checked tranny oil?
Either that or clutch isnt releasing enough / leaving load on the gearbox, does it do the same in reverse if your stationary?

Oil is fine. Clutch seems fine as it doesn't do it all the time, just occasionally, think its just the box. I've an old box that Im gonna strip down and rebuild after my holidays I think.
