Just wondering what the problem is but I have a feeling it's the synchro-mesh.....

The car is a 1988 st162 and the gearbox has about 280000km's on it... don't know how it was treated before purchase as i've only had it for about 8 months....

the problem is that when changing from 3rd to 2nd or 1st to 2nd quite often i'm getting a crunch... (note: this doesn't happen on any other gear changes) Crying or Very Sad

what would you suggest this to be? synchro, clutch, or possibly gear oil? and how much to fix?

yeah most probably synchro
2nd gear synchros are usually the first to go
