Changing 5th To 6th Gear - Problems


Recommended Posts

Hi All,

Was driving yesterday I noticed I could not change to fifth from 6th gear. There was a blockage, I just could not shift into 6 gear. All the other gears were fine. Changing from 1st all the way to fifth was no problem but fifth to 6th was just stuckm it was if the gear was blocked.

Does this mean my gearbox has gone? I stayed in fifth and have not driven my car since. Plan to drive it this evening.

Any ideas on what the issue could be… cost £

Thanks

Jay

I would try it again later obviously. Problem may have gone. Try doing 6th without the engine on - and while moving. Also try getting 6th fron neutral and from 5th gear. If 6th is really no longer there then it needs looking at proffesionally IMO.

You can pick up 2nd hand gearboxes on eBay for ok money - you would want some kind of garuntee though.

Hi Guys ,

Drove the car this morning and the problems seems to have disappeared. Very strange. I was thinking of changing the gearbox oil as since I have had the car I don't think its every been done, would this be beneficial and improve the gear change?

I was thinking something like redline 75w90??
