miko_supra Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 girlfriend has said to me that her car has difficulty getting into gear. and at one point this week it wouldn't go into any gear at all. going to have a look this afternoon, but does anyone have any advise as to what to look for? going to check the linkage from the shifter to the gearbox. couldnt be the clutch at all?

robin Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 I belive some cars wont select gears when the clutch is broken. I know thats the case with some hydraulic ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miko_supra Posted December 1, 2007 Author Share Posted December 1, 2007 well i had a good look around. and the linkages were all fine, the clutch was fine, the gears all went in smoothly. so i guess she's just gone mad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Tell her next time she wants to select a gear to put her left foot down hard on the left pedal. My wife does that all the time... CRUUUUUUNCHHHHHHHHHHHH Of course everytime i point out her foot isn't down properly she shouts and tells me it is and that i don't need to tell her how to drive... followed by... CRUUUUUUNCHHHHHHHHH Wimmen! Scott =op Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
