It selects gears fine, it's just when you are driving around in 1st it's loud like gears running dry without oil, but once in second as quiet as a mouse.Would a change of oil to Synth do the trick? Is there a specific oil I should use?Otherwise if it's a rebuild what cost would it be, or would a reco be a better option?I am open to any suggestions. I am sure to most people it's not to bad, however being as pedantic as I am about my cars, it juts eats away at me!Any suggestions appreciated.Oh BTW for the Older term members of the forum, I will post pics of my current ride when I get a chance to take some photo's!CheersJB Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/30297-noisy-1st-gear/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a powerchip installed which well makes it about as quick as a T in first gear, no more to be said............Great little car to drive, good quality german build with no shortcuts. Should keep me going for 12-18 months then we will see where we go from there. Will post pics when I get a chance, I am really enjoying it as a quick small run around.
