Gearbox or the linkage

[dave_w]

Was out drivig about last night, when I decided to drive home I could only find 3rd & 4th and 1st but 1st was where reverse should be and 3rd & 4th were the only two I could get into I could t find seccond or fith does anyone know what the cause could be, there's no grinding or anything could it just be the Linkage bit between the gear stick and gear box ?? :-S

Yeh sounds like the linkage. Get it checked by a mechanic.

you will probably find its the linkage, they can only be adjusted a few times then they wear out....you will have to get a new 1, there not to bad to fit and aint overly expensive

it is the linkage. mine went few month ago and i had do the same thing. get one from scrappy for pennies but make sure you get off same spec

i re - adjusted the linkage && it selects the gears nicer than it ever did , how ever it will not go into 5th, it just selects 3rd again, i can adjust it to get into 5th but then i loose reverse and reverse becomes 1st again, do you think il need to replace the linkage , or isit the box? some one said it sounds like the 5th cog has been pushed away and has spread the gears out & il need a recon, however i dont see how that could be possable as i dont think i had tryed and ramm it into 5th to do this damage?

sounds to me like the linkage is worn out, get new 1 and see what happens
