Check the clutch play adjustment too when changing the gearbox oil. That's a very likely cause of difficulty engaging R and 1st, and very easy to fix. The synchromesh can't cope if the clutch isn't disengaging enough and will get damaged sooner or later. Then you WILL be faced with a GB rebuild <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite9" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":eek:" /> Your clutch plates may also get worn, if they're not already.Have you tropicalised your cooling system and aircond yet?</blockquote>
