5th gear problem
« on: 24 June 2009, 19:56 »
Occassionally, when putting my car into 5th i find it doesnt quite go in with easy like the other gears in the box.


Any reasons for this?

Agreed, not really a problem but I also sometimes find 5th a little more awkward than the others.

Maybe the linkage cable is slightly out of adjustment!

You havn't got a short shifter fitted?
