I've never had a problem with my gearbox. Admittedly, it wails like a demented banshee in second when pulling hard, and isn't much quieter in third. 30mph is just about manageable in third - I can't remember what the synchro box will allow - but the overall gearing is quite adequate given all the hills around here. It sound a bit 'whirry' in neutral with the engine running, which goes if one depresses the clutch, but I can't decide whether the noise is the gearbox or the engine rear main.
