I have a similar problem but only on changing down from 4th to 3rd and 3rd to 2nd at over 3,500 revs, when it is impossible to engage the gears. Otherwise the gearbox is slick up and down the gears as long as I avoid high revs on 4th to 3rd and 3rd to 2nd. Going up through the box poses no problems.

Annoying but not annoying enough, yet, to make me have it taken apart to be looked at.

I wonder if it's basically the same problem? Be interested to know what it is causing it when you find out. My, unprofessional, opinion is that it's something to do with the selectors

2nd to 3rd is annoying as there is a "sticky" feeling and a delay that just puts you off the experience and makes the gearshifting frustrating. Tried changing the oil but no improvement.

thanks to you all...
