The_Dude 0 Posted November 14, 2008 Best replace it as quickly as possible, you don't want it leaving you stranded miles from home for such a cheap part. Luckily mine broke as I was parking up outside my house. Its quite easy to do, a little fiddly but nothing 5 minutes of swearing won't help. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jamiejamie 0 Posted December 9, 2008 fitted said part over a week ago and got all my gears working really well, and then... on a long drive jumped out of 5th, trying to put back into gear makes a slight grinding noise now that rac tried to adjust it - i was only after a tow home 150miles. that said from point of break-down to getting home took over 9hrs!! Rac will be getting a big complaint for this one and i stil have to fix the damn car again! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jamiejamie 0 Posted December 10, 2008 If your having similar problems with loss of gears i would suggest looking at 'lost 5th gear' where my saga at least continues... reverse and 5th seem to be the usual suspects, these two posts have helped me so far Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
