leeeeshad 0 Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) Hi, my reverse is stiff but I can't get into 1st or 2nd, (which makes me think its not the adjusment that I've seen in a thread on here) its like they have just disappeared from the gearbox. any ideas? I need the car for work tomorrow morning :( Cheers ---------- Post added at 6:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 6:33 PM ---------- A bit more info, it will move forward or back into 3rd or 4th, but the only way the gear stick will move left is if I push it down as if I'm going into reverse, and then all I can do is go into reverse, can't go backwards for 2nd and there's no 1st inbetween reverse and 3rd. edit (again) I can just about get it into 1st sometimes, but i have to go down (as if going for reverse) Edited February 28, 2012 by leeeeshad Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moneypit23 0 Posted February 28, 2012 Sounds like when the linkage (?) went on my old car, lost gears as i drove to uni and ended up with only 4th working. It was just a cheap nut apparently after i'd pushed it into national tyres. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emu 0 Posted February 28, 2012 check linkage mounting at gearbox. Had same problem in passat b4 long time ago. Nuts holding linkage were lose Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leeeeshad 0 Posted February 28, 2012 I can't see anything broken and all the bolts are tight, thanks for the ideas though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
