Cant get into 4th gear
« on: 09 December 2010, 22:55 »
Just got into my car to drive home from a mates and on the way back i couldn’t shift to 4th, all other gears are fine. Any ideas as to what could be causing this? Is it an easy fix?

Thanks in advance,

James

On top of the gearbox is a arm, that the two cables attaches too, there is a little slider on it that if not greased up cant make it difficult to get into gear.

i had this and had probs getting into all forward gears. just spray some spray grease on it. sorted mine out.
