Wesleyvr6 10 Posted June 21, 2013 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nrc 0 Posted June 21, 2013 Have you tried adjusting the gear selection cables? The levers might not be travelling enough. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wesleyvr6 10 Posted June 21, 2013 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? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted June 21, 2013 Theres a guide to adjusting the cables in the wiki section mate. Have a gander in there. :thumbleft: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wesleyvr6 10 Posted June 21, 2013 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!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
