When im on the motorway doing about 70 in 5th and i change down to 4th the gears always grind, and this happens in other gears as well somtimes.

Is the gearbox on the way out of is there somthing else i can do :D

Also how do you stop the breaks from squeeking when just driving along normally.

Cheers People :)

Certainly sounds like a new gearbox should be on your shopping list, the synchro hubs are probably fooked.

Crap it only happens when im slowing down coming of the motorway etc.

Are there any better ones than what the M42 has or is it just another replacement of the same.
