general use, maybe? (all things mechanical eventually break down).

or you could have been forcing the transmission into gear too hard. either way, live and learn.

The gears will grind or not engage properly. Mine on 3rd is on it's last leg.[&:]

Oh, and til you get it checked out, double clutch that beatch, it'll prolong it's life a bit.

You could drain the tranny fluid, if you see bronze mteal then your synchros are gone.
