Ford are aware of a second gear synchro problem on some ib5 boxes, from what i can gather if you drive in second gear up to about 3000 rpm and let your foot off the accelerator some jump out of gear. I could find out for definate if i see my mate whos a techy at ford.

Its because of the lack of a syncromesh (dont ask coz I dont know but without it you get that crunch lol) in reverse. I and a lot of other members also find putting it into 3rd and then selecting reverse helps



This works an absolute treat! Thanks

Or, just let the clutch out a little, and then re-engage. Try reverse again, wont scratch then.

Mine never crunches, just won't go in until I lift the clutch a little, but found the same with a couple of cars
