Hi, thank you for adding me to your forum, I am a new owner of a Fiat Ducato 2.3 (not new to campervans/motorhomes).
almost finished converting into a day van when yesterday 2nd gear started to crunch and then would even go into 1st gear, managed to pull away in second but lost reverse when parking, this seems to be where the problems are lying, took apart the gear linkage and pivot (as advised on this site ) all greased up, still the same. The Gear stick will go up and down but limited to hardly any movement side to side. The previous owner said a recon gearbox was put in a year ago.
Sat here scratching head and worrying how much this is going to cost me ! I sold my VW for something a bit more reliable.
Many thanks in advance
