gearbox stuffed.
« on: 16 March 2012, 08:51 »
Well had a bad day yesterday, ill not bore you with the non car related.
Gearbox has went stuffed, driving fine then went to put into first and it wasn't for going then gear stick jammed tight in what was 1st gear but had not engaged into 1st, got my mechanic to pick up car after many attempts to free gear stick. Has had gear selector off and its fine, so assuming my gearbox has seized inside some how.
