VRmonster 1 Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 hmm, i just had a new box fitted, and i have to force the stick to the left to get reverse, 1st and 2nd. do the 02A's have a selector plate? cos i think a garage has put it in wrong, lol. ill have to keep an eye on this thread to see what the deal is n get that bush replaced Link to post Share on other sites
kilokilla 0 Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 Right ,on top ov gearbox where linkage is there is a wierd shape black L shaped piece ov cast or some sort ov metal anyways its held on by 1 bolt 13mm i think if this bolt overtightened or replaced with wrong bolt causes this problem undo bolt and put a washer or 2 in then try gears again this worked for me as teh bolt scratches on top ov box and causes probs with rev 1st n 2nd Link to post Share on other sites

six appeal 53 Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 had something come loose then mate? to make it need adjusting? If so do you know what it was? Link to post Share on other sites
VRmonster 1 Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 so judging buy gusto's post the 02A can be adjusted. is it something that a garage should do or can i have a go? Link to post Share on other sites
gusto 0 Posted May 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 I would think a garage would be your best bet as it only took my garage 1/2 an hr to fix! And six appeal i don't know what caused it to go but the car had been standing still with the engine running before i set off only to find my gears were all to pot but seems good now!!
