Hey all, when i let the clutch out in first and take off there is a bit of a rattle, and a crunchy feeling before it feels like the gear engages?only really happens from a standstill. is this going to end in a terminal failure of the box? synchros? cheers for any advice.

It's probably clutch chatter, sounds like you need new clutches.

hmm, i adjusted the clutch freeplay on the cable? seemed to get a little better....but had a scary experience finding something like a false neutral coming into a corner...to have it go back into gear after a little crunching...then compression lockup...bit of a slide mid corner...scary.... seems to be locking up fine though?
