Hope somebody can help with 1st gear problem

Recommended Posts

Hi all, I'm having problems getting my car into 1st gear, basically all my gears were perfect, I took the engine and box out to clean everything up and get the bay looking sweet, also put in a new Valeo clutch whilst it was out, now it's all back in its a nightmare to get in 1st, selecting 2nd then 1st makes it slip in like butter!! Any ideas? Thanks

Have you tried adjusting the gear selection cables? The levers might not be travelling enough.

I just presumed with it being fine before the box was taken out it would be fine after, any tips on adjusting the cables?

Theres a guide to adjusting the cables in the wiki section mate. Have a gander in there. :thumbleft:

Thanks everyone, all sorted now! It was the 2 bolts holding the gearstick mechanism in place, they had worked loose. Tightened them both up and voila!!
