5th gear crunch

[Yicker]

Hi all,after not driving the evo for a few weeks i decided to take it for a run to work.All was fine for the 1st 10 mins or so then i felt like it was crunching going into 5th joining the motorway. Turned the radio down and it is crunching,not at low speeds though and only on quick gear changes. Had a nosey through the search tab and worn syncro has been mentioned a lot. Should i have the oil changed on the next service 1st (22nd oct) before anything else to see if it helps?

Thanks,Tony

I'd try a different oil first and go from there.

Millers CRX 75w-90 gear oil is the best stuff I've used in a road car and got rid of the 3rd gear crunch I used to have with Silkolene 75w-90 on my 5.
