My GT6 gearbox was a tad noisy in third, i stripped it down and rebuilt with all new bearings, seals etc. Put it back in the car and found 1st lovely and quite, 4th lovely and quiet. 2nd & 3rd are just awful, like theres no oil in the box, any ideas?

When i put the layshaft back in there was a little bit of wear where the rollers sit but nothing major enough to worry about, i can assume its only something ive done, or not done thats the problem. Gear selection etc is perfect

Im crying my eyes out everytime i have to use them!

Sounds like you have an early gearset (pre 68), they can be noisy. About all you can do is make sure the soundproofing on the underside of the gearbox tunnel is decent - or get a later gearset.
I am assuming you aren't trying to judge it without the tunnel fitted, if so any GT6 box will sound shocking.
