I dont fukin believe it, long drive (ish) to get exhaust re-routed today due to trans belly pan moving when new gearbox was fitted, new prop on and most of the bumps and grinds had seemed gone on way there, kept it gentile cos exhaust was tied on, but on way back gave some right foot and it happened again, 1st gear ok to about 3000 revs and then it gives this allmighty screeming grinding noise like 2 cogs not meshing, dip clutch and it goes higher gears dont seem to do it and i have run out of things to change now

it makes a niose like gears climbing over themselves in high first and low second with lots of boot ?
when is making the noise can you feel it through the gear stick or the tops of the twin sticks?
you sure the front drive not trying to slip in to gear take the gaters of the gear sticks and make sure you have got planty of room around them from the floorpan and that you aint got a broken engine mount
is ther any debris in the trasfer case

I have taken the top off the box and think I might have an idea, would it be posible to fit the top cover onto the box and not get the forks right but for it to still change gear, but not fully engage gear enough so tourque will through it out of gear?

before fitting I inspected the cogs and all were fine/unmarked as expected, I have taken off the top cover again and had a quick inspection and the top cog nearest the clutch has a small but visible grove now, I also drained the oil and its fine, no bits, but I ran out of time and had to get in for 7.

And problem has been identified according to a mate (landy driver) and his answer seems feasible. Rear diff is binding, he recons it has tightened up, just waiting for a dial gauge. On opening the diff cover found a very fine metallic dust in the oil so this also points to same problem.
So looks like diff is apart for the 4th time this year lol
