Squeaky Gearbox

Hey, my gearbox has developed a squeak whenever i change gear, it sounds almost like its is wobbling around as the gear engages, especially if the revs are lower, if i consciously make the effort to bring the revs up as i change into the next gear there doesnt seem to be as much, or any noise, and downshift is fine.......any clues?

Sounds like your gear linkage bushes need replacing.
Also good to give them a bit of silicon grease afterwards.

Theres some good guides on here for replacing the bushes, and they're not too expensive.
Lots of sets available on ebay.
Take your time and it's quite straight forward.
