Sumtimes its abit hard to engage well that has now got worse as the car has decided its going to get stuck in 4th !! I dont no wat could have caused this as im not 100% with gearboxes.....Any help would be ideal as it is a daily so need it alive again asap.Cheers Ps- Its a standard 93 vr6 gearbox.

craggsy 91 Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Does it go into gears using the weight on the gearbox itself Link to post Share on other sites
palmer 17 Posted February 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 The weight is moving round an it feels like its locking into a couple of gears but dont think its doing all of them (Although i could be wrong) Link to post Share on other sites
cabrioman 6 Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 can you select any gear without the engine running ???? how does the clutch feel ???? Link to post Share on other sites
palmer 17 Posted February 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Clutch feels fine. Cant engage any gears the stick jus feels floppy and unresponsive..... Link to post Share on other sites
cabrioman 6 Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 check the connections for the cables on the turret on top of the gearbox make sure they are ok, check the counter weight is secure and check inside the car the connections on the gear stick ....

rodney 17 Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 you are looking for two things as the chaps are infering... is the gearbox staying where it should and/or are the movements you make on the stick being transferred...So as above look at the item Tony mentions as he is the expert here Link to post Share on other sites

cabrioman 6 Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 throttle cable should be able to get from Euro Car Parts or GSF as for cables ill check ebay and some one breaking a vr mate .... Link to post Share on other sites
