This is happening following a down-shift from 3rd into 2nd? I would check the condition of :
a) Spring pawl mechanism attached to end of gearshift &
make sure the two springs are in good shape.
b) Ensure selector pin cover plate is OK & pins are good.
c) Selector fork on the end of gearchange lever, check
profile of 'hooks' that connect to the selector pins.
Failing this then:
You've probably got worn selector forks.
From memory you do the following:
1. Drain oil & Removing the sump
2 Remove LHS clutch cover
3. Remove inner cover over selector shaft.
4. Extract the rod (selector are located on this)and you
should be able to remove selectors from below.
I don't think the oil pump has to be removed.
Good luck. If you need dimensions let me know.
