jezmoz 0 Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 yesterday and today, first time starting the car I couldn't change gear at all? Couldn't get it into first gear, I eventually forced it into third :? and crunched my way to work, but now it's fine ???? It's been very cold recently but i've not had a problem in the past when it's cold. I'm thinking that it's nothing to do with the cold weather, anyone any ideas, gearbox oil?? grease?? my clutch seems fine and i say after a few miles it returns to it's former glory??

mk3anni 0 Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Gear box oil level might be low, might be worth getting it changed and getting some molyslip thrown in. Link to post Share on other sites
jezmoz 0 Posted January 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 some folk on ed38 reckon it could be the cable ends??? Link to post Share on other sites
stockers 1 Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 if it eases after a while i would say the same as mk3anni, sounds like the gear box oil needs topping up. Link to post Share on other sites

jezmoz 0 Posted January 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 yep the clutch was bled and it's fine now, they reckon it may have had air in it?? But the clutch pedal was near the floor and not dis engaging the gears, It's now up in the sky and the bite has changed !mistrust , need to get used to it. But at least its working they didn't even charge me, at last a garage that doesn't rip me off !lol Link to post Share on other sites
