Problem while changing into 2nd gear

[Peter W.]

I do have problem while changing up into 2nd gear.i can hear bit of a clanky noise
i've spotted that my upper shift boot is cracked and that small nylon cup on the base of gearleaver is not in perfect codition as well(small crack on one side)
can that be a reason??
i have to mention that gear oil was changed recently...
many thanks for any advise

Is it a 5 or 6 speed?? Shift booths do cause it on 6 speeds but if the cup is damaged then it will cause trouble.

its 6 speed
so next job is to replace that nylon cup
lucky its cheap but i'll do shift boot as well so i wont have to smell the gear oil inside as i drive
thanks a lot

In the process of putting a 6 speed in mine. Booths done. Check which cup you need as the later ones are larger. Otherwise kit is the same for both mk1 & 2 from mx5parts.

but obviously will double check that before buyin'
