Gearbox in a S2 RST
Guys need someone to give me a definitive answer. Why wont 5th gear in my RST work? 1st to 4th gears are fine but when I try to put it into 5th gear it crunches like it almost wants to go into gear. I am taking it to a place in Scotland this weekend to get it looked at. It must be a linkage issue. Please help!!

Micky is referring to the oil level in the gearbox. It's like your engine, it has oil in it and it needs to be checked sometimes. 5th gear is separate in an RST gearbox, so unlike the other 4 gears it is possible that 5th can be fucked, but the rest of the gears still work, for a short while at least. Get it checked as soon as possible, but prepare yourself for a gearbox rebuild.

In my opinion you've got a damaged gearbox that will only get worse.Here's a link to a well known gearbox company,give them a phone call and see what they say.
