6 sp Manual Transmission Issues! HELP??

Just wondering if anyone has had any issues with the 6spd man gearbox in there prado's? Mine seems to get a hardy to find reverse once hot, sometimes takes a few attempts to select reverse even going from 1st to reverse doesn't help sometimes, it's like it gets jammed in the slot. Also not to sure but has anyone had the synco's replaced at all yet, mine has 150k on the clock and sometimes it grinds going into forth even with the clutch fully depressed. Also had the clutch replaced at 100k.

Just wondering if anyone has had similar issues and maybe a fix? I have also changed the transmission oil twice to see if that helped and it didn't seem to make much of a difference!

Any help appreciated!
Cheers!

Before you start thinking the worst i would get the clutch re-bled (Air expands when warm) and check the adjustment on the clutch peddal.

Hi Skywalkerrun,

Thanks for the quick reply! I will have to revisit the pedal adjustment, last time I tried to do this the adjuster fell out of the holder! :/ Might have to give the system a bleed though! Thanks for that! I will see how I go!

Cheers!
