i've recently bought a bravo 1.8hlx 98 S reg.

the gearbox crunches when changing into 2nd gear, it happens when changing up or down into 2nd. the car recently had a new clutch and slave cylinder. i don't know if the problem existed before or only after this work.
i have bled the hydraulic clutch, that made no difference.
i have tried to adjust the gearbox linkage but that isn't possible on the 1.8 as far as i can tell??
i have replaced the gearbox fluid, this made no difference either.
i usually assume a problem like this in only a one gear is due to gearbox damage. especially because all the other gears are perfect. can anyone think of anything else i can try before i get a new gearbox? can you actually adjust the gearbox linkage in any way?
