SMG II gear change problems

Hi,

Pure Guess on what your have descibed.

Your selectors in the Gearbox are worn,
and so when you engage, instead of the
detent Springs aligning for selection,
they are mis-aligning, solenoid actuators
clacking, so that there is
resistance at the selection take up.

Changing up under load, so I am guessing
that the 'clacking' noise is the selectors trying
to engage, actuators, hence why you have a delay in
Gear changes.

Changing down, the engine 'Brake' loads as you
change down which loads the drive train and hence
the selection process is again mis-aligned.

I would guess that if you drive hard, lift off,
so as to unload the drive train and select to
change up then it will be much smoother and
without hesitation as the 'selectors' are not
under load and so slide in easier.

Just my guess on what you have said.

Regards,

The Gorilla.
