Hey so we are heading to Croatia from Bristol and started to have gearbox issues. Lightly noisy/light whine gearbox and jumps out of 5th gear.
Given its Sunday (France shuts on sundays) all I could get was some 15/40 to top up the oil by taking speedo off gearbox). Its not jumping out now but my question is if I stop driving now and drain/fill with gearbox oil do you think it will be ok for another 1500 miles over 6 days doing constant 70mph or should I abandon the trip and limp home (600 miles) at 50mph?
It's an 87 scala 1.8 carby
