I thought I would ask if anyone has experience with the BVM5 transmission. This is not an urgent problem but will need fixing eventually.
My '73 DS23 5 speed is running well but the transmission is noisy. I believe it is the diff but it is quite intrusive in 4th and 5th. Additionally the synchro on second is very weak, down changes from 3rd being almost impossible without double clutching.
When I got the car it had been off the road for over ten years and the box contained a nasty emulsified mixture. I have change the oil twice and added Nulon G70 for some improvement.
Any suggestions? Is there someone who can rebuild my box or maybe a replacement 5 speed available somewhere?
