artscot79 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 if its just 5th and 6th all other gears are ok then possibly the syncro it would be best to have it checked out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomo2001 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Is the gearbox cable operated or a mechanical linkage ? Could be the cable has broke or come adrift at one end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artscot79 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 if it was the cable you wouldnt get any gears does it crunch in any gears or 5th to 6th or is it silent but just wont go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stef123 Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Has the linkage been inspected? It could be that you have lost motion due to wear or it might just need adjusting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damianst666 Posted October 6, 2012 Author Share Posted October 6, 2012 How do I check that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damianst666 Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 I had a good look at the cables today. The cables look fine however one of the plastic joints that have a spring is broke and the spring isn't doing anything could this be the course?
