Hi Guys, Just wanted to ask for any opinions on a stuck gear selector.
I have removed the gear knob housing and its all clear. the gear selectors are not the issue.
Sometimes I cannot select 5th gear or reverse.
I flushed the clutch, and this seemed to relieve the problem slightly,
However the car will wheel spins when pulling away hard, which leads me to believe the clutch is fine. gears 1-4 are also perfect at all times.
However on occasion, the 5th gear will be very stiff and sometimes the reverse gets stuck.
I cannot take it out of reverse in some cases.
If I force it -eventually It will come out, but this is becoming dangerous during normal city driving.
I have topped up with gear oil, but this seems to make little difference, and my next step is to flush the gear oil, and re-fill with new gear oil.
I'm trying to avoid replacing or removing the gearbox due to labour costs, but, is there anything else you can think of to fix this issue before I start looking for new gearboxes?
