Hello , this is my first appearance here...so i hope i have done it properly.

I have a '75 914 , 'sideshifter' .Pretty sudden my second gear (coming down from 5,4,3) crunches and i have to wait a few seconds...and then it goes well.
So normally it is the synchro....? Or is it really posible that some clutch problems can cause this?(Why not the other gears?) , and coming out of the first gear there are no problems at all.
I think the synchro is worn , please confirm...i am not that experienced and there is no 914-forum anymore in Holland snif snif.
Thanks and greetings from the Netherlands!

By the way this fellow called 'Brad' is the reason i am now really driving it in stead of selling it in an early restoration-stage.....i will allways be gratefull...and my FI works perfectly , for 100 dollar only , thanks to his site and advice!
