Howdy Folks...
Just a quick question if I may...
My early 80 series Cruiser has that syncho glitch in second gear (when cars warmed up, syncho's get tight), even though its far better now after putting in some better gear oil.
Sometimes, with frequent gear changes (in the city etc), it would be simpler to just start in 2nd gear & avoid 1st to 2nd possible dilemna.... but is that asking for long term trouble?
Cheers in advance...

On flat ground, I take off in second in my 1HZ powered criuser.
I don't apply any power and ease to clutch out at idle THEN apply power(
well . . . . . what it's got)once clutch is fully engaged.
It seems to be slow to other road users, and you may find this process to slow for you to get going, but it works for me
If up any sort of incline or to get across an
intersection, 1st is needed.
