Hi, my 99 5spd gearbox seems fin and solid as does the clutch (pretty low miles), 2nd gear grinds up and down & requires DBL clutching always. 3rd grinds to a much less extent. First I don’t care about.

Everything else is fine, no howling and the like. Pretty darn low milage. Is it possible to remedy this without a complete rebuild?

Can it be done by just removing the gearbox (instead of complete transaxle)?

DIY ? (pretty experienced amateur, lots of motors…complete renovations)???

Thanks, PK

P.S. Any peephole to see the wear opn the clutch
