Gearbox Issues

Post by GraniteCorsa »

Hi there,

Seems to be a bit of an issue with my gearbox as half the time when I want to put the car into gear, it is either really difficult of simply will not go in, which is becoming a real issue at traffic lights and the like. Also, when changing into reverse, there is a really loud crunching sound and again the stubborn gear problem.

I've read it may be something to do with the gear linkage or the oil might need changed/topped up. (for the gearbox, engine oil looks fine)

Have any of you had similar problems? If so, how did you fix it? Either way, help and advice would be most appreciated!!

Oil is the cheapest option so try that first

It sounds like a clutch issue tbh though
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

This sounds exactly what i had a few months ago. Try adjusting the clutch cable, it fixed mine straight away. Might not be that, but worth a shot!
