BenWade7 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Hello Guys, I think I have a problem with shifting into 1st gear it seemed to get stuck half way into it, like I feel I have to force it into gear I don't like that feeling?. Has anyone experienced this that can give me some advice?. Thanks Ben P.S- Yes I have my foot flat on the clutch LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAIDER32 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Not sure you have the same 6 speed gearbox as my ST, but I tried this for a notchy 3rd gear and everything is much nicer now, Super easy to do and seems like it will happen to all similar gearboxes over time,聽some have slightly different tabs but it's the same process. One video showed a socket that had fallen into engine bay and was sat in the arms preventing fully engaging a gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Botus Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 few lubricate the gear linkages all cars end up with a different method, as engine, box and fitment varies, but many have ways to get lube somewhere external, it can make massive difference and should be part of routine servicing. on her mk2 internally under the gator, both the silly nylon ball squeaks from being dry, I use white grease, the internal cables and connectors I use wd40 and outside i pulled off the plastic cover where the cables connected up, took them off and put copper-slip on the linages and more wd40 on the bits of the cables that are bare and it like a brand new car always get some one to wiggle through the gears, especially reverse as you lube, that way your balls get coated nicely 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
