Hope someone can help.
I was checking my gearbox oil level, and undone the wrong plug. I undone the plug on the NS of the box.
After realising it wasnt a plug I out it back in, and found the right one.
Problem now is I have lost 5th gear.
At first it was 1st gear I had lost, just wouldnt go in, but drove down the road and it came back.
But I now cant get 5th gear. Just wont go into gear.
Anyone have any solutions for this? Was working fine before.
When you removed that bolt,
When you removed that bolt, the selector arm fell off the end down into the gearbox, no doubt it got jammed and stopped you selecting 1st gear. Its now floating around in the gearbox. You will have to remove the gearbox and fish around for the arm, and fit it back onto the bolt. I wouldn't recommend driving it as it is, if that arm gets sucked between the main and lay shaft.....bang.
Search the forums for any additional info on this/removal of box.
Oh crap. I didn't hear
Oh crap.
I didn't hear anything fall off, but that would make sense.
I have driven it since, and nothing has happened, but I will take it to the workshop tomorrow and get the box out.
How far into the box do I need to go to re-fit the selctor arm?
Would I just be able to pop the lid off and re-fit?
