It's noisy when the clutch is fully up, continually noisy, plus i can't get it into second gear at all.
Just to confirm once again, anybody who's actually built or rebuilt gearboxes, is it difficult to tell is a bearing or syncro is stuffed? This will help me alot in determining whether something has just gone wrong after the rebuild (i.e. something failed in the box of it's own accord), or whether the rebuild wasn't done properly.
I'm guessing the latter, as R154's have a sterling reputation for reliability, and a freshly rebuilt box shouldn't be
1. WAY worse than it was preivously
2. so weak as to not be able to handle a performance clutch for a week, when only running on 200rwkw as it has been for the past year.
