Hi Guys, this is my first post on here and I really could do with some serious help. I have a 2006/7 120 multijet, 2.3 Ducato. It's my everyday work van and I have recently started to notice that it's getting stiffer to go into gear. The upshot of this is that I can now no longer get it into reverse at all. I lift the collar and push as hard as I can but it simply will not go into reverse at all!!! Going into 5th and 6th is also hard work and can sometimes take 4-5 attempts to get it into 6th.
My mechanical knowledge isn't great and I was told by one person that I need a new gearbox, which concerns me and my bank balance. However, my local friendly mechanic suggested that it could be the selector rod or cable as the gear shift is stiff going side to side, yet ok going back and forwards, meaning one cable/rod is ok but the other is a problem (allegedly).
So, can anybody shed any light on this dilemma please? Thank you all in advance.
