Hi All,
I have a 1998 Palio with 1.0 liter gasoline engine. It has a 5 speed manual transmission. Recently I have had trouble shifting into 5th gear. It will go but it requires a considerable shove to the right and up to get into 5th. There are no odd noises or grinding sounds. Just stiff. Yesteray I discovered I can no longer shift into reverse. The reverse lockout slides up as usual but I cannot get into the reverse gear. I slid up the shifter boot and discovered a white plastic piece that covers a horizontal bar just in front of the shift lever is broken. Im not sure what its function is. The white plastic piece which surrounds the base of the shifter appears to be OK. Does this sound like a linkage adjustment problem and is it at the point where the shifter enters the base or somewhere closer to the engine? Does anyone have a .PDF schematic of the shifter linkage?
Thanks,
Kenno
