nathanrichardsr Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Coming home from the cinema tonight, changed from third to fourth at around 3500, heard a very quiet very quick crunch then it wouldn't change down or up. It feels as though it is a link in the gearbox... But I'm not at all technical. Gear stick is floppy but stuck just going in the row of 3rd to 4th, straight in that line and does not move side to side. Clutch still working. So instead of a 3 hour wait I have booked an rac technician to come out at, 10.30. If he can't do anything am I best getting it towed to the closest Ford garage? Any ideas what it might be?

Stoney871 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Sounds like a broken sychro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselPig Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Sounds like the clip-on rod end has popped off the cable, this is situated under the gear lever gaiter or the other end at the gearbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nathanrichardsr Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share Posted June 8, 2014 So I cancelled the Rac and got Ford assist out... The very helpful guy from AA had me back on the road in 10 minutes. He just said the gear linkage had popped off and to book it in with Ford asap Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Ford OC mobile app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
