Ok do u no the small plastic piece on the gear selector, there is a lot of play in the selector with it the plastic is wore, would it cause it to grind slightly in 2nd and 3rd, if u take your time shifting it wont grind, its a gearbox i got from a mate i got it for nothing, my last one was fucked.

The sugar cube?

I've never noticed it making a huge difference but it might be worth replacing mate.

gearbox grinding is the baulk rings in the gearbox they are supposed to slow the geardown enough for the teeth to line up as u select the gear as these fade over time they grip less so they dont slow the gear down quick enough causing the grinding noise thats why if u change gear slowly u dont get the grind
