vrev6II 0 Posted December 23, 2004 Hi, i just been driving along and found i only have 3rd gear left :( and the gearstick feels very loose, i had a clutch fitted about a month ago, so i dont think its that, what could this be? any body have any ideas as to whether it could be a big problem or a simple one? thanks in advance :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted December 23, 2004 It could just be the linkage that's come loose. The circlip under the gaitor might have fallen off and would cause what you describe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scruffythefirst 0 Posted December 23, 2004 It'll be the linkage somewhere - if you'd done a selector fork you'd have more than 3rd left Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daves16v 1 Posted December 23, 2004 I had this, turned out to be a nut come loose on the gearbox linkage..........reset, tighten, job done. I could only get 3rd or above. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dr_mat 0 Posted December 23, 2004 Great thing about the VR is that 3rd will do you fine for pulling away all the way up to 110mph ... :-D As long as you never need to go backwards, you're sorted! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
