Hi to all, could someone help me out, i bought a Fiat Ducato from an auction it's 2003 in the year and a 2litre Diesel on driving it home i found it won't go into 4th gear all other gears are fine, the milage is 57000 with FSH. Anyone got any idea
 
Hi & Welcome to The Fiat Forum.

Check if it has cable gearchange, if it does you may be lucky & just need adjustment or new cables. If it's not that then it's a gearbox out job, presumably 4th gear engages without the engine running?
 
Hi Thanks for the wecome, it won't go into 4th even with the engine stopped, when you come out of 3rd gear it's like hitting a stone wall just solid, i think that's the best way to discribe it,

Sounds grim but probably worth a look around the selector mechanism before dropping the box, sounds like a problem with synchro hub or something come adrift in the detent system.
 
having identical issues on a ducato 2008 2.3L. No noises, all other gears fine but when try to engage the 4th is like hitting a wall.
Does anyone know of what was the solution here please?

Kind regards
