2012 Ranger 2.2 Duratorq 150 PS 1st & 2nd gear troubles

[RehabBreach]

Hi all

Got the above, 1st and 2nd gear have slowly been getting harder to get and now it will go in to reverse without lifting the gate up!

I have heard the A frame bolts come loose so have checked these and they are tight.

Any ideas what else to check?

Thanks in advance.

Don't know if this may help but I've lost one of the screws, the left one marked HB1 below, that links the lever's ball joint to the top of the gearbox, lever suddenly became loose. I recover the screw half way between home and work, try to put it back in place but I think the thread in the gearbow cast was a bit damaged and as the screw is not completely threaded, it wouldn't engage, I've had to use a standard M8 screw.

Hope this helps
