406 Gearbox crunch

[SIPJ]

I have a problem with my 1998 406 1.8 lx. I get a crunch when changing from first to second gear after about 3000rpm. This problem also happens when I change down to second above 3000rpm. I have spoken to a mechanic and he sais that some bits probably need to be changed in the gearbox. I hope there is a less expensive way to sort this.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Yes there is. Ignore it, my 405 has been doing the same between 2nd and 3rd gear since I bought it in 2000. It's stll doing it today 70000 miles later. The syncro has gone but it will carry on regardless, probably forever.

Yes, learn to double declutch.
