Hi all
Had a ride out in the 172 earlier today, and on the way back I noticed that everytime I went to change down to 2nd, it made a crunching noise as if I hadn't fully pressed the clutch. The only way I could stop the crunching from occuring was to slow to a crawl before selecting 2nd. Once into 2nd however, there were no problems at all and changing out of 2nd didn't cause any issues either.
All the other gears seem fine, I could change into them as normal, just 2nd that seemed to be affected by this crunching.
Does anybody have any ideas what the problem might be? Could I be looking at an expensive gearbox problem?
Cheers
