Post by: skcollob_ho on 30 July 2008, 15:26

Thanks to everyone that contributed to lots of previous threads about problems with gearboxes, and selecting 5th!

It was whilst looking though a thread from waaaay back in 2006, that someone mentioned a nut on top of the gearbox, that threads through a small plate, that commonly comes loose, meaning problems with gear selection, especially 5th.

Well, I wandered out to the car to check, not with much hope i hasten to add, as I don't usually have that kind of luck, to find the nut was very loose!!! I tightened said nut, and f**k me...it worked!!! It's like I have a new gearbox!

Phew!

Pointless thread, I know, but special thanks to everyone involved in all the previous threads!

I love my valver again!
