Grinding 5Th Gear

Hi,I'm having trouble selecting fifth gear. It's grinds every time and only double de-clutching seems to get it in gear. It will occasionally jump out of fifth too. It's an MTX-75 in a 1.8 Si. If it is the fifth gear syncro, how easy is it to replace? Is it behind the end cover on the gearbox. I can't seem to find much info or diagrams on the net.

Any advise would be much appreciated.

to be honest id be looking up at the local breakers or ebay for a gearbox a lot less hassle than stripping a box down to repair it. either that or there is places that would recondition your gearbox but its not cheap.

Yes, I was thinking the same. There are a few on fleabay so I'll just keep an eye out. Not many breakers in north Devon!

Thank you for your thoughts.
