voyagerrichard3 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Hi Everybody, I am unable to select reverse gear on my 2010 2.0tdci smax whilst the engine is running. 1st gear is sometimes difficult to engage but reverse is impossible. It slips in nicely with the engine off, and when the engine is restarted can be used nicely. All other gears seem to be fine an the car drives well. There is no crunching or other noises when changing gears, no pedal vibration and pedal feels fine. Any ideas what this could be causing this problem? could it be the clutch on its way or the synchromesh on the reverse gear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Sounds like the clutch is dragging . Basically the the gearbox gears are still turning stopping you from engaging reverse. Clutch worn or the clutch plate is sticking on the input shaft.either way it's box out to fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voyagerrichard3 Posted March 31, 2019 Author Share Posted March 31, 2019 Thank you, wouldn't that normally effect all gears though and cause some kind of noise? What would the damage be for a new clutch guessing its not going to be cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
