rodders53 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Hi Ive got a 2001 mondeo 1.8lx with 70 000 miles. Its been well looked after and in very good nick. My problem is when trying to select fifth gear it seems to go in but when you start to let the clutch out theres a grating noise. If you select fifth gear at a standstill and slowly release the clutch it jumps out. Is a gearbox required or could it be a linkage issue. Any advice would be very welcome thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ppeter7 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 could be 5th gear worn or cable adjustment.would take it to gearbox spec to get them to confirm they would do that for free to check it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flying clutchman Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 sounds like a gearbox problem I'm afraid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Definately gearbox related, slight chance that its the linkage but I am afraid you may be on the hunt for a scrap gearbox! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
