Toucan Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 I have a mint g/box, semi worn clutch, awesome engine. Yesterday: Car works 100% fine. Today: it's like reverse is seized, no amount of clutch or revs would get it into gear, in then end I used brute strenght and it went into place and then worked fine, no funny noises or what have you. Then I'm done with my reversing and go to select first but I'll be dammed it doesn't want to come out of reverse, so I force it out and away I go, all the other gears are fine and can be selected normally, there were no weird noises or anything leading up to this, just literally happened overnight. Could my gearbox have fucked itself overnight? or is it likely to be something like a worn clutch? It's raining so I can't go have a fiddle at this point in time.

Jerm Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 Not the clutch.. all the clutch does is disengage the engine with the g/b and it wouldn't matter what gear you are trying to select it is always the same..... and even when it is engaged you can still move thegearstick into allof the gears without to much effort... sounds like something wiwerd happened in your gb....

lowlancer Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 Welcome to my life. Both my lancer and my sigma gbox are cunts to get into reverse, not that bad though. Try just going through each gear bar reverse, that's what I do, then it just slips into reverse nicely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemi Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 could be ur selectors or the ball the locks the gear into place, else it might be ur idler gear perhaps but id say the selector gate thing thats stop u going into more then one gear at a time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toucan Posted June 18, 2005 Author Share Posted June 18, 2005 Cause it's not just "not going into gear", it physically isn't able to be moved into the position. Grrr need it to stop raining so I can have a look, so puzzling dammit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest blown4 Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 probably no help at all to u,but i had a mini once and the engine stabiliser mount on thr top of the engine going to the fire wall tore away from the fire wall end which caused the engine to lean back enough so i couldnt select 2nd,4th or reverse. i used to have to get out and push it backwards out of car parks,man the shit u do when youre younger ay. just a little story for yoose.thanx 4 your time.

Hemi Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 yea it could eb the selector gateway thingie that stop moe then one gear going in at a time , if one of the balls if sitkcing u wont be abgle to move that particaular gear into , well gear lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toucan Posted June 18, 2005 Author Share Posted June 18, 2005 Well no shit, It's THAT hard that I could swear somebody has welded a forcefield around my reverse, It can go in, but its gear stick snapping stuff I tell you so I'm not all that keen on doing it. Any other ideas??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemi Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 well i guess ur gonna have to pull the box out and fix it aye , no other way around it , yea sounds like the selector ball things what they do is when a gear is selected the ball pops into a hole between the selector lever and the gateway , this move some thingie mahjig into place the stop the other gear being engaged (imagine going itno 5th and 1st at the same time ......bang lol , anyhow the only i know of fixing it is taking it out and doing it manually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
