How to adjust clutch in eh holden. Crunches when put in gear. Turn motor off and put in gear then start is OK, can then take out of gear but still crunches to change gears

1st gear syncromesh Is worn or broken. This usually is caused by forcing lever in when clutch is not disengaging fully, or changing gear with out disengaging clutch.

Sounds as if a synchronizer is going out in 3rd gear, or 3rd gear maybe stripped. I would get it checked by a tranny (transmission) shop before it ended up costing you more money. There is a possibility that there may be some shavings on that gear as well, which would just need cleaned.

your clutch is the problem,i would suspect master cyclinder??could have trapped air in the system needs air removed ie;bleeding;;;;;; {you did fit a new clutch when gear box was fitted}??? hope this helps.adrian

Have you ever drained your transmission fluid (to replace it)? If you haven't, do it now. If you see large (a millimeter in diameter or larger) particles in the fluid or on the magnetic drain plug, someone has been having more fun with your car's transmission than they should have. You will be due for replacement syncromesh gears soon (but I doubt anyone replaces those by themselves anymore, so you might be looking at an entire transmission replacement).

You will be hard put getting the dealer to do any transmission work while the transmission works (even if just barely).

If you do decide to go the transmission replacement route, replace the clutch assembly as well, and drive the car for another 100,000 miles.

Hope this helps a bit.
