Title: gear boxes?
Post by: Martz on 26 April 2008, 11:30

Does anyone know how to rectify a sticky 1st and 2nd gear change. When I am giving it full beans in the Rallye the gear change is awful (when driving normally it is great).

Is it a gear linkage or would a rebuild be required?

My 1st 2nd on the G60 is a bit fidgity, I am yet too look into it, but I suspect it is the cable or the mech on the top of the box.

Could be worn engine mounts letting the engine move to much when you're giving it beans  :smiley:

There all solid mate. I will look at the linkage as I have been told it is highly likely to be them. Give it a go!  :cool:
