Recommended Posts

my 1993 2.0 16v corrado is being a pain about going into gear .the gears are all over the place and sometimes first is where reverse is and 3rd gear is where 1st should be .any ideas i know its a cable change gearbox but could it be worn links etc ?

Several causes are possible:

1 or more circlips holding the gear lever end of the linkage together have come loose;

The bushes at the gearlever end of the linkage are badly worn;

The cables are loose at the gearbox end and/or are out of adjustment;

The gearbox mount is shot;

The selector mechanism in the gearbox is shot;

A selection of the above in no particular order.

found it on vr6 forum

it's very easy, 1 13mm nut. if you look down onto the top of the 'box, there's like a slide, nut on the end of the bolt facing towards the engine, keep it in nuetral, tighten that nut; that's central neutral, i.e. level with 3rd and 4th.

 

It worked so i was well shocked took me 10 secs to fix the only spanner i had at home was the correct size a bit freaky..
