cabrioman 6 Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 could be a selector fault try operatiin the selector by hand (with out the engine runnin ) and see if u can get the gears if not then mite need to have it looked at by a gearbox spelist if u can then u mite just have a cable or gearstick box problem Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 I had this problem not long ago. It wasn't till I had a proper look thro' all the grease on the mech that I found this peice broke on mine As you can see it holds the cable which selects left to right thus only giving 2nd and 4th. Worth checking propModerator edit by: cadguy Link to post Share on other sites
