Hi, hoping someone can advise with this:
I cannot shift from 5th to fourth, at all, it just won't go in. All other shifts are fine. If I go from 5th to third I can then go into 4th from 3rd no problem.
I have greased the gear selector on top of the box, no difference. If the engine is off I can go from 5th to 4th no problem.
Thanks for any help
Being able to shift 5th to 4th when engine is off proves linkage etc is ok.
I would also say clutch is fine as other gamers are ok,sounds like a synchro issue to me.
Yes I thought synchro too, but was hoping not!
I've changed the gearbox for a secondhand previously, last year. Not sure I want to do it again. Given the age of the car it night be time to say goodbye >:(
Tried double declutching?
From fifth into neutral, lift the clutch pedal and rev slightly, dip it again and into fourth. Try it stationary at first, until you get the technique.
