Driving lessons?
Synchro Saver?
New Tranny?

im going to find out today but it seems like a new tranny. The car drives in all other gear except 2nd

I have heard usually 4th gear is the weak one on the S1 manual trannies.

It could be the synchros, but replacing it is a lot of work, you may actually save some money by getting a used tranny.

I’m buying a used tranny with 67,000km for 850 cad. Comes with a warranty too so I’m going with that

A good decision to say the least. I wish you luck on your install.

Just kidding dude. Good luck on the new tranny. Hopefully it’s good. Mine is a bit temperamental so I just double clutch most of the time now. Maybe look for a series 2 differential while you’re at it. It has better ratios.

Nope, sheared the teeth off 2nd gear, have broken four or five this way

These transmissions can be weak so take care of the newly used one you bought. Not a transmission that loves to be slammed into gear time and time again. And I also make sure I change the gear oil every 30k or two years. That's just me though. I'd rather over maintain the car to help ensure longevity.
